We’re thrilled to share that GWUOHS is planning to expand our program to include 6th and 7th grade for the upcoming school year. This expansion reflects growing family interest and our commitment to providing a rigorous, flexible, and student-centered learning experience earlier in a student’s academic journey.
Because we are committed to maintaining the high-quality instruction and personalized support that define GWUOHS, enrollment for these new grades will be intentionally limited during the initial launch.
To ensure we can support dedicated teachers and resources, grades 6 and 7 will open once minimum enrollment thresholds are met.
What this means for your family:
This approach allows GWUOHS to grow thoughtfully while ensuring every student receives the engagement, structure, and academic support families expect.
