Authentic, brave, compassionate, curious, spirited. Students thrive at Garrison Forest School (GFS), where they can be their authentic selves as they lead, create, and innovate with confidence. Throughout the K-12 all-girls academic experience, students are guided by a network of educational professionals, from teachers and advisors to Learning Specialists, who look at each student individually and work together to create a path that feels intentional, appropriately challenging, and meaningful. Opportunities abound for students to dig deeper, push themselves, and find new areas of interest. Launched in 2024, the Boyce Center for Learning and Thriving provides holistic support that helps all students become the best version of themselves, with a focus on academic success, growth and enrichment, and wellness and well-being.
The 110-acre GFS campus gives students the space to explore, featuring an outdoor classroom for younger students, state-of-the-art athletic fields, an equestrian center that is home to nationally recognized riding and polo programs, and more. National and international boarding students in grades 8-12 find a welcoming home base and vibrant community where they are supported by on-campus faculty residents.

Strong Foundations for a Lifetime of Joyful Learning: Co-ed Preschool and Daycare
The Preschool at Garrison Forest serves boys and girls ages two through prekindergarten. A magical place that nurtures and values each student’s developing personalities and interests while giving them space to explore, the Preschool focuses on developmental milestones and introduces subjects like early literacy, math and social-emotional skills.
The Daycare at Garrison Forest is a full-day, five-day program offering a loving environment for the littlest learners, children six weeks through two years old. Limited enrollment ensures meaningful one-on-one interactions, and a robust curriculum focuses on benchmarks and developmental goals while leaving plenty of time for fun, playing and exploring
Each day, Preschool and Daycare students spend time outdoors traversing the expansive campus–including visits to the school’s barn and horses or the campus pond.
