As of 2019, it enrolled some 1190 students from nursery to 12th grade level.

The Head of School of GCDS is Adam Rohdie. The head of the high school is Chris Winters, former Greenwich High School principal.

It is accredited by the State of Connecticut through the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools.
