“I’ve been at GWUOHS for almost five years in total. I’m a senior this year. And I’ve enjoyed my time here very much … So far, I’ve really enjoyed my Capstone Class and how it challenges us to learn to do something a little different.” – Bobby, National Merit Scholarship finalist*

Future Plans: Bobby plans on attending the Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University while continuing to play competitive tennis at the college level.

“I joined GWUOHS at the beginning of my sophomore year, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My experience at GWUOHS has been truly transformative, both academically and personally…. GWUOHS gave me the freedom to follow my passion while still receiving a world-class education.” -Peyton*

Future Plans: Peyton plans on attending Fordham University’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies while continuing her career as an apprentice with the New York City Ballet.

Peyton is a shining example of how GWUOHS empowers students to pursue their passions while maintaining strong academic performance.” -Chelsea Crawford, academic advisor*

Future Plans: Emma plans on attending the University of Virginia.

“Emma not only excels academically but also contributes meaningfully to our school community, consistently engaging with both her peers and teachers in thoughtful and positive ways. Her commitment, perseverance, and willingness to work with others have made her an integral part of our school community.” -Chelsea Crawford, academic advisor*

“GWUOHS has given me an incredible level of flexibility that made my entire high school journey possible … I’ve grown more than I ever imagined. I’ve become fluent in Spanish, developed a passion for conservation, and even taken on the role of a teacher. Most importantly, I’ve become the best version of myself.” -Layah*

Future Plans: Layah plans on attending University of Colorado Boulder, majoring in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology.

“It has been an honor to witness Layah’s journey at the GWUOHS. Her kindness and joyful personality shine through in every interaction you have with her. I admire her determination to accomplish anything she sets her mind to.” – Darys Nieves, academic advisor*

“Being a student at GWUOHS has allowed me to do so many things I otherwise wouldn’t be able to do. I am so grateful to go to a school where I have the flexibility to manage my own schedule and do things like travel, work a part-time job, and be a competitive gymnast. My plan for the future is to take a gap year as I will be applying to programs in Sweden for fall 2026 where I hope to study something medical or environmental.” -Jamie*
