Bogota - School Report Question and Answers

What personal or academic counseling resources are available at this school? Is there a dedicated college counselor at the school? Is he/she familiar with universities worldwide?

See above. I found the counseling to be unhelpful. - Mar 2015


I think that there could be improvement in the college selection/application area but I have heard that steps are being taken. I can't speak to the Counseling program but I do have friends on the Advisory Board and they have said that they have been pleased at how well the school listens and considered their opinions and suggestions. - Feb 2015


A - During our first year at CGB, our son suffered from what I considered a bullying incident with another American child. As soon as I learned about it, I contacted the teacher who scheduled a conference for 7:30 the very next morning. By the time we arrived for the conference, the teacher had corroborated our child's assertion and provided a thoughtful and effective solution. To see his interaction with our son was amazing and the problem was resolved. He arranged for class seminars with the school psychologist on "how to be a friend", etc. If I hadn't already been hooked on CGB, I would have been a convert at that point. - Jan 2015


Counseling at the school is the worst I have ever seen. - Aug 2014


F.This is one of CNG's weakest links.If you choose to enroll your children here, be ON TOP of every aspect of their academic situation, needs for the future, placement, grading, etc.Do your own research about what your child will or might need to return to school (high school or university) in the States or elsewhere; the counselors here ARE NOT INFORMED, though they are happy to tell you everything is fine. - May 2012


A: Very good. - Sep 2010
