Learning for all, excellence for all
Dual Language Immersion
Through our English-Spanish Dual Language Program, WPS provides an enriched, bilingual, bi-literate educational experience for students. Students have the opportunity to learn another language, receive the same high-quality curriculum, and grow into cross-cultural learners and critical thinkers.
Attendance
Every Day Counts at GQES! We need our Chameleons in school, on time, ready to learn each day. Regular attendance is essential for young learners—it helps them build strong foundations in reading, math, and social skills, and sets the stage for long-term academic success.
Preschool Programs
GQES values early childhood education and hosts two 4-year-old preschool classrooms through the Virginia Preschool Initiative. In preschool, children build early literacy and math skills, learn how to work with others, and develop the social and emotional skills that help them thrive in school and beyond.

Interim Principal’s Message
I’ve always had a deep passion for education in Winchester Public Schools and this incredible community. Great schools come from great communities, and we have that at WPS. As I step into this new role, I look forward to rejoining the Quarles family by supporting our staff, promoting a partnership with families, and continuing to foster a positive and engaging learning experience for all students.
