They participate in school-sponsored activities, clubs, teams, and community service opportunities. Our students enjoy a genuine learning community where students and staff are connected by mutual respect and caring in an intellectually challenging climate. We focus on thinking critically, drawing parallels, and questioning assumptions rather than merely assimilating information. Students develop skills that they will need to succeed at the university level and beyond. Giving presentations, writing proposals, and creating products makes learning valuable and meaningful.
Classes are small and student-centered.
Master teachers lead core courses and an array of electives with an innovative spin, making learning come to life. Students feel free to take risks in an environment where they can think out loud. Each student and faculty member is issued a laptop computer. Our wireless network eases communication and instruction within our own community and the global community as well. The GW Community School is an equal opportunity employer and accepts students of any sex, race, color, and national or ethnic origin.
