Greatest challenge?
The British teachers make a lot of what could be considered as anti-American comments in front of the student population. Please be aware you will have to review all history lessons at home, because the children will be taught history from the British perspective. This perspective includes teaching American participation in WWI and WWII was of no consequence. The American role on the world front is absolutely minimized and regularly criticized. Children are asked to defend American policies in front of the class. - Mar 2015
It is a small school so my son wished he could have had a little more choice in his classes but it worked out and he was satisfied and got a good education. - Feb 2015
The greatest challenge was the school's location. It's a beautiful, idyllic setting but the bus ride is long for the children, and depending on traffic conditions, it could be very frustrating to get to the school in the middle of a workday for music concerts, conferences, etc. A small price to pay for a great education. - Jan 2015
Currently, teachers don't know how to consistently interpret the "4.0 grading scale" implemented 3 years ago.The admin is aware of the problem and is supposedly working with teachers to fix it, but if 2 or 3 of your students' teachers choose to interpret a 3.2 as a "great" grade for a top student, your child's college apps are screwed.Despite having had an interesting and broadening experience, my daughters' transcripts (considered "good" by The Powers That Be at CNG) have prevented them from applying to some honors programs at universities, excluded them from merit-based financial aid, etc. - May 2012
Can't think of any. - Sep 2010
