GA at a Glance

Germantown Academy is the oldest continuously run non-sectarian day school in the United States.  Founded in 1759, The Public School of Germantown was an all boy school in Germantown, Pa.  In 1961, the school moved to a  new campus in Fort Washington.  With the addition of girls, it was one of the first area schools to become co-educational. The Academy just celebrated its 250th anniversary on December 4, 2009.
