Garrison Forest School

Owings Mills, MD

All-Girls - Grades PK-12

At Garrison Forest School, we recognize every girl has a unique path to success, and our community is built around supporting and empowering her through her journey. We help each girl find her individual path, give her space and support to explore and grow and challenge her in ways that develop her authentic voice. Our graduates leave GFS ready to serve and shape the world with confidence, creativity and integrity.

Our motto, Esse Quam Videri, To Be Rather Than To Seem, has united our community since the school's founding in 1910. Today, it inspires our core values—Be Authentic, Be Brave, Be Compassionate, Be Curious and Be Spirited—and guides how our students and faculty teach and learn, connect and collaborate, serve and succeed.

With an academic philosophy focused on the specific needs of young women, a campus that encourages creative learning and a joyful community spirit that lifts up each girl, Garrison Forest is a place where girls innovate, create and lead with confidence.
