Germantown Academy, informally known as GA and originally known as the Union School, is the oldest nonsectarian day school in the United States. The school was founded on December 6, 1759, by a group of prominent Germantown citizens in the Green Tree Tavern on the Germantown Road. Germantown Academy enrolls students from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade and is located in the Philadelphia suburb of Fort Washington, having moved from its original Germantown campus in 1965. The original campus (see Old Germantown Academy and Headmasters' Houses) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The school shares the oldest continuous high school football rivalry with the William Penn Charter School.

dbo:abstract
  • Germantown Academy, GA oder Union School, in Philadelphia ist die älteste Tagesschule (ohne Internat) der USA. Sie wurde am 6. Dezember 1759 durch eine Gruppe von Bürgern der Germantown gegründet. Sie ist heute eine Schule von der Vorschule bis zur 12. Klasse in der Suburb Fort Washington. Bis 1965 stand sie im historischen Germantown Campus. Wegen der deutschen Herkunft vieler Eltern wurde die Schule lange Zeit mit einer englischen und deutschen Abteilung eingerichtet. Die ersten Leitungen hatten David James Dove und Hilarius Becker aus Bernheim. 1777 fand die Schlacht von Germantown unmittelbar bei der Schule statt. George Washington schickte seinen Adoptivenkel George auf die Academy während der Gelbfieberepidemie 1793. Ein wichtiger Reformer der Schule war Dr. William Kershaw nach dem Bürgerkrieg bis 1915. Bradley Cooper, Martin „Cruz“ (William) Smith, Witmer Stone und Owen J. Roberts waren Alumni. (de)
