Germantown Elementary School became an Optional School in 2014. We have a school-within-a-school design, with both traditional and optional classes. Our school hours are 9am-4pm.

Our enriched academics and International Studies program challenges students while preparing them for the real world. Through creative, collaborative, and challenging academics, our students achieve at the highest level. We empower students to be independent thinkers, responsible citizens, and community leaders. We offer an exploratory curriculum of global cultures for all students. All of our students participate in conversational French classes.

Before and After Care is available through the YMCA.

Students who live within our school attendance zone do not have to submit a school choice application. They can simply register when the early registration period opens for the new school year. 

Students who live outside the attendance zone can submit a General Choice Transfer Application. Applications are based on available space in the school and are processed in the order they are received.
