IMAGINEERING

Preschool and Lower School students love to build, discover, create and tinker. What better place to dream and design big than our unique Imagineering program? Our full-time Imagineering expert works with Preschool through 5th Grade in pre-engineering labs—one in the Preschool and one in the Lower School—to teach the problem-solving and collaborative skills students, especially girls, need to thrive in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art/design and math). It’s hands-on, brain-expanding, smile-inducing fun engineered to introduce young imaginations to new ideas.

RIDING AND POLO

We offer riding and polo programs to match your interest and skill level from beginners through veteran riders and polo players. Polo at GFS is truly unique in that we are the only girls’ school in the United States to offer the sport. Our riding program is nationally renowned and beginning in 6th Grade, riders can apply to join the Equestrian Institute, a program designed for top competitive riders. Our expert faculty guide our polo players and riders to reach their greatest potential while learning self-confidence that takes them to new heights both inside and outside of the ring.

CREATIVE CO-OP

Design and creativity meet tools and techniques in our Creative Co-op. Four maker spaces provide high-tech (3D printers, laser cutters, power tools and more) and low-tech (craft materials and art supplies) for girls from Lower School through Upper School to make their design dreams a reality. In-class, drop-in and weekend workshop opportunities mean that there’s no shortage of time to create, design, build and explore in the Creative Co-op.
