Girls are at the heart of everything we do at the GDST
That’s why we continuously tailor our teaching to the way girls learn best. From the way we design our schools, the length of the timetable, and the way the curriculum is taught – we adapt to create the best environment for girls to succeed.
You’ll see our success in the grades our girls achieve, but you’ll also see it in their smiles and their ambitions.
Our girls are academic, but we understand that you don’t just learn in the classroom; you learn on the playing fields, in science labs, in theaters, art studios, debating chambers, music halls, camping in the wild, or exploring the city.
At the GDST our teaching exceeds the classroom, to help girls succeed in life.
