Through the generosity of Germantown Academy families, alumni, and former faculty, six academic chairs are endowed, carrying with them great honor, a three-year tenure, and a yearly stipend, as well as funds to be shared for professional development for the applicable department. 

This year, the school conferred five chairs—the Goldstein Chair (Science), the Biggs Chair (History), the Barness Chair (Visual and Performing Arts), the Cressman Chair (Language), and the the Schoff Chair (English)—to new recipients during the end-of-year faculty/staff breakfast, which was held on Connor Quad on June 10, 2021. Currently, the Black Family Chair (Math) is filled.

The five new endowed chairs are listed below.
