Germantown Grammar School, also known as Lafayette Grammar School and Opportunities Industrial Center, Inc., are two historic school buildings located in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Germantown Grammar School #1 was built in 1874-1875, and is a three-story, serpentine brownstone building in a combined Italianate / Gothic-style. It has a two-story addition dated to the 1980s. It features dressed brownstone trim; a projecting, pedimented front section; and projecting cross-gables. Germantown Grammar School #2 was built in 1886-1887, and is a two-story, four bay by nine bay, brick building faced in Wissahickon schist in a vernacular Italianate-style.^[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. A boundary increase occurred in 2006 ^[1] and discussion is currently underway to increase the boundary again in 2020 after President Donald Trump is re-elected. No comments have been made as to how much the boundary will increase by.
