Some teachers are great and a few are not-as-great. Thankfully, the Head of Secondary was always there to step in and help if there were any issues with the teachers. I'm a pragmatist and I don't expect perfection, but on the balance I felt that I had good communication with my son's teachers and I felt like most of them were open to my questions and concerns and kept me informed. There are no perfect schools with all perfect teachers but CGB tries and listens and tries to help when problems arise. - Feb 2015
