Germantown Academy takes matters of sexual misconduct and our obligation to evaluate every claim seriously. We want our entire school community to be safe, and feel safe, at all times, and we are committed to ensuring that happens.

We have created several pathways for our students, alumni, parents, current and former faculty/staff, and other members of the GA community to share experiences of sexual misconduct.

If you have something to report, please use the form below to submit information with or without identifying data, and with or without contact information. No personally identifiable information is collected unless a participant voluntarily offers that information in any of the comment fields. The following are additional resources to report suspected incidents of abuse or criminal behavior.
  • If you have reasonable cause to suspect abuse or neglect of a child, you may contact the Pennsylvania ChildLine and Abuse Registry at 1-800-932-0313. Any information submitted here that raises reasonable cause to suspect abuse or neglect of a child will be shared with child protective services or law enforcement consistent with Pennsylvania law.
  • Potential criminal conduct may also be reported to local law enforcement by contacting the Whitemarsh Township Police Department.
  • Please remember that the Safe to Say anonymous reporting system is always available for students as well.
It is our hope that in gathering information and providing ways for our community to safely share experiences and trauma, we can acknowledge their suffering and take action to create positive and lasting change.

Please reach out to Head of School Rich Schellhas 1760, Co-Director of Counseling Services Andrea Kurtz, or our Board Chair Lori Griswold 1760 with any questions or concerns.
