This is an average school except that special privilege is given to students whose parents donate more and knows headmaster personally.

Wonderful school. The balance of challenging academics and creativity is unparalleled. My children are flourishing both in the primary and lower schools. Dedicated teachers, who connect with both students and parents make this school a great choice for all kinds of kids.

I cannot imagine a school environment where the teachers and administrators care more about helping each child find success. While the curriculum is strong, the benefit that I see most is that my children are learning interpersonal skills - compassion, self-advocacy, and global awareness - that will prepare them for the next phase in their lives. Thank you GCS!!!

My child hated this school. It was like sending him to ROTC training. The primary school principal is very unapproachable and not easy to voice concerns to. The teachers are ok, but honestly, not worth the 20k that they charge. You can easily find a school better than this one for less than half the cost. They try to fit all of the children into a little box and do not encourage creativity and individuality. I DO NOT recommend this school. Several parents that I spoke to voiced the same concerns and actually pulled their child out after 1 year.

By doing it in the funnest way possible,we have to make it exciting for them. Maybe reward them after they are done AND DID THERE BEST. Parents must be totally involved.

You shouldn't, have a study hall if they need help. When you learn you need a teacher, students can study on their own time.
