Faculty & Staff
Creative, talented, and dedicated teachers are the heart and soul of GDS.
Our teachers truly love children and are committed to helping them reach their full potential. Our faculty get to know students as individuals, and they build strong relationships not only as teachers, but also as coaches, sponsors, and advisors.
Over my 13-year career at Greensboro Day School, I had countless teachers challenge me to think outside of the box, dream big, think critically, collaborate with peers, and use academic knowledge to solve real-world problems.
