GDS's commitment to community safety mitigants means that we are able to offer our complete transportation program for 2022–23. Our traffic management obligations to the Tenleytown neighborhood are in effect, including morning carpool policies. If you have any questions, please email ImproveMyCommute@gds.org.
Get to GDS by school bus, walk or bike, car pool, or public transit

Georgetown Day School offers a variety of transportation options for Pre-K–12 students to help our busy families around the Washington, DC metropolitan area navigate to our unified campus.

As part of an agreement with the Board of Zoning Adjustment, the ANC, and the Tenleytown neighborhood, GDS has committed to decreasing our overall car trips to campus. GDS has a robust plan for meeting those commitments, which includes: shuttle buses to campus, carpooling, incentivizing and encouraging walking and biking to campus, and public transportation.

We offer a host of transportation options. These options are good for the quality of life on the unified GDS campus, good for you (and your car)—and good for the planet, minimizing our carbon footprint. With exceptions for students in Pre-K–1st grade and those with a physical disability, all students arriving by car must be part of a carpool or must arrive at school before 7:30 a.m. (and, if in Pre-K–8th grade, participate in the Early Grasshopper Program) or after 9:00 a.m.
