Every single aspect of our GWCS experience has been positive! The administration, staff and teachers are all keenly focused on meeting each student's individual needs. They're true partners with my wife and I in our child's educational and emotional growth. They're sensitive to our daughter's needs and have been responsive to every request. They've also been very creative and extraordinarily flexible. It's clear that they love all of the kids and only have their interests in mind. The GWCS broader community of parents/students is strong and caring, too. Our only regret is that our daughter did not attend GWCS earlier. We love this school!

GW Community School has been a wonderful experience for our family. The large public school was not a good fit for our son. GW Community School was a God Send with its small class size, special attention, great variety of clubs, excellent teachers, strong academics and field trips. We believe that GW Community School will prepare our son for 4-year college and beyond.

GW Community School is more like a family than a school. The teachers and leadership team know their students exceptionally well. Every graduate have known over the last 20 years has thrived under the care and attention of the faculty. This school is for students who need a safe place to learn and grow and stretch to their full potential. They are accepted for who they are and challenged to be better than they could ever have imagined. There is no better school in Northern VA for students to fall in love with learning again.

After our son struggled to connect with other students in his mega public high school, we tried GW. Best decision we ever made. Our son loves this school for the small classes, supportive teachers, and interesting class discussions. The school offers Honors and AP classes and SAT prep for Juniors and Seniors. My son's classes range in size from four to eight students, so they get a lot of individual attention. The small class size also allows the teachers to cover the material in class and homework is therefore much less than in public school. The teachers really care about the students and want them to do well. There are also alot of clubs and sports for my son to participate in, including drama, robotics, and basketball. He actually looks forward to school everyday. If your child is unhappy in his current school, you should take a look at GW.

This is an amazing school. Ms. Warden and Mr. Goldie have created an environment that is both challenging academically and supportive emotionally. The small class size allows the teachers to work with students so they can succeed. While it is a small school it has a huge heart.
