FAQs
Does my child have to be a regular Guilford Day student to participate in after-school, tutoring, testing, or summer programs?
Absolutely not. The staff at Guilford Day School possesses knowledge of a wide range of teaching methods and strategies that benefit all students, not just those who attend our school. Students with and without learning disabilities benefit from our community programs.

How long do students usually attend our school?
The answer to this question depends on several factors.
1. The goals of the family. Some families come to us seeking a permanent safe and supportive educational environment for their child. When these students find us, whether it be as early as elementary school or as late as high school, they usually stay through graduation. Other families have recognized a weakness in their child’s academic performance and would like them to spend a few years at our school to learn strategies that will help them become more successful in a more traditional environment. These students usually attend for two to three years.
2. The family’s financial situation. Some families come to us knowing from the start that they can only afford to send their student here for one or two years, regardless of how much they want to stay. We are working hard on establishing a strong scholarship endowment so that we never have to lose a student because their family can no longer afford to send them to Guilford Day.
