The Health & Wellness Center

Completed in 2023, GA’s new Health & Wellness Center has become a vibrant hub for our entire community. More than just a building, it is a place of connection—linking our primary academic spaces while supporting physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Highlights include:

  • The Jordan Center, a top-tier training facility supporting all GA athletic programs.
  • The Live Well Lobby and Hall of Athletic Achievement, new gathering spaces that host everything from alumni celebrations to the annual Patriots Society Party.
  • Daily access for students, faculty, parents, and alumni to an inclusive, energizing space designed for whole-person wellness.

The Power of Endowment

A robust and growing endowment is key to GA’s long-term strength. Through this campaign, we:

  • Established 32 new financial aid funds, increasing access and affordability.
  • Created 10 endowed faculty funds, supporting professional growth and competitive compensation.
  • Launched 5 programmatic funds that enhance experiential learning, academics, and athletics.

These investments will enrich the GA experience today—and protect it for the future.

A Legacy for Generations

Our Moment was more than a fundraising effort—it was a shared commitment to the future of Germantown Academy. The success of this campaign reflects the power of community, the strength of tradition, and the boundless potential of every Patriot.

Thank you to all who made this moment possible.

 

Honoring Our Campaign Leadership

From the very beginning, this group of passionate volunteers understood that Our Moment was more than a fundraising effort—it was a vital step in securing a stronger, more sustainable Academy for generations to come. Their leadership galvanized the community, giving voice to a vision that resonated deeply across GA. Thanks to the unwavering support and leadership of this committee, Germantown Academy has not only achieved but surpassed its ambitious goals. Their belief in the power of collective action, and their tireless work behind the scenes, have left an enduring legacy of strength and inspiration.

We are profoundly grateful.
