Georgetown Day School is an independent, PreK-12 school in Washington, DC. It is familiarly called "GDS," or less frequently "Georgetown Day;" the high school is sometimes abbreviated GDHS. GDS was founded in 1945 as the first integrated school in the District. The lower and middle schools (grades pre-kindergarten to eight) are located in the Palisades neighborhood, while the high school is located several miles away in Tenleytown. The school enrolls approximately 1000 students in any given year and graduates about 120 seniors each year. GDS is known for a strong emphasis on the arts and its historical success in high school policy debate and quizbowl. (It was the #1 school in the nation at debate in 2006.[citation needed]) Because it believes that students and teachers are partners in education, everyone at the school — students, faculty, and administrators — goes by first names. The current head of school is Peter M. Branch.

In addition to coaching running year round, Belber is a third grade teacher at the school.
