格瑞森林中学

格瑞森林中学是一所私立女子高中，建立于1910年。学校的教育理念是“秉承平等、诚实、友好和尊重的教育特色，让学生发现自己，突出自己”。学校希望学生不仅在学术上有所成就，更注重培养学生的自信心和领导能力，并且强调学生要勇于奉献自己，服务于他人，为社会创造更多的价值。学校鼓励学生在学习和生活中挑战自我，培养独立和创新的精神；在尊重和团结的基础上，挖掘学生真实和充满活力的自我意识；在互助友爱的基础上，创造一个多样化、兼容的社区；用激情、愉悦和梦想来开发姑娘们的领导和服务精神。学校和霍普金斯大学有很好的合作关系，大学经常给学校的学生做指导，包括申请大学和专业选择。 Guided by our motto, Esse Quam Videri—To Be Rather Than To Seem, Garrison Forest School's college preparatory program balances high standards within a welcoming, spirited atmosphere that enables each student to flourish intellectually and individually. Since 1910, Garrison Forest has prepared young women has empowered girls to realize their full potential and to live lives of purpose. Our diverse student body and boarding community brings together young women from seven states and five countries. G. Peter O'Neill, Jr., Head of School since 1994, and a dedicated faculty, administration, and staff pride themselves on close faculty/student relationships and a classroom environment focusing on personal achievement and collaborative learning. All students follow a college preparatory track and matriculate to a four-year college. Advanced Placement (A.P.) courses are offered in every discipline. We also offer a 1:1 Tablet PC program on our fully wired campus. Located on 110 acres outside of Baltimore, the school’s park-like campus offers collegiate-quality academic, athletic, arts, and residential facilities. Our innovative partnership with The Johns Hopkins University, the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE), matches students with a Hopkins professor and lab to conduct research in science and engineering. Students may apply to be a Jenkins Fellow for an in-depth service learning project of their choice. Our new Equine and Veterinary Science program, expanded Robotics program, arts offerings, competitive interscholastic athletics (including riding and Polo at the national levels) and many clubs meet every interest, broaden horizons, and provide leadership development.
