GA's Academic Courtyard connecting the Middle and Upper School to the outdoors, was reconfigured in March 2013 to reflect the five habitats that a person would travel through when driving from Fort Washington to the New Jersey shore - they are; Piedmont Forest, Short grass meadow, Atlantic White Cedar Swamp, Pygmy Pin-Oak Plains, Pine Barrens Bog. The last three will be installed on the lower level during the summer of 2014. While designed with the intention of enhancing research curriculum in the sciences, many students across the school and studying in an variety of disciplines can be found working in the space. From art students making perspective drawings, to young poets using prompts from nature, the courtyard offers faculty and students alike a way to connect with the outdoors and curriculum in meaningful ways.
