GA is a PreK-12, coed, nonsectarian day school in Fort Washington, PA
At Germantown Academy, students are challenged, supported, and engaged in a multitude of ways that lead to a transformational learning experience. They graduate as individuals who are capable of achieving far more than they had ever imagined.
Germantown Academy is proud to announce that seven members of the Class of 2025 have been named Semifinalists of the National Merit Scholarship Program and will now move on to the finalist round in hopes of winning one of 7,500 Merit Scholarship Awards.
As if Germantown Academy quarterback Xavier Stearn wasn’t enough of a challenge for opponents, the 6-foot-6 junior with the rocket right arm added another element to his arsenal. Stearn, who set two school records last year, finished with five touchdown passes in a 49-26 victory against Father Judge on Sept. 6.
Congratulations! Zora Meddahi-Larbi, Middle School French teacher has achieved success in creating a language app. It was built to teach today’s youth the centuries old language, Taqbaylit.

They worked tirelessly so that the Berber language and culture could be preserved.
