Bogota - School Report Question and Answers

How would you rate the school's support and welcome/integration of new students and their families, and why?

Mediocre. If you don't speak Spanish, you can't talk to anyone in the office or administrative areas. If you are only an English speaker, you are cut off completely in that way. - Mar 2015


Like every school my kids have ever attended, communication needs improvement. However, I saw improvement even though we were only there a year and some months. The school is aware of the needs and trying to make changes and I felt listened to when voicing concerns. - Feb 2015


A - CGB is very welcoming to new students and families. We received information in a timely fashion and were introduced to other families at various school functions. The school is small enough to be able to promote a very supportive environment. It's hard to slip through the cracks. - Jan 2015


D.We came in mid-semester, and this might have had something to do with the complete lack of effort to integrate or inform any of us.The school was completely disorganized in terms of assigning classes to our daughters, providing them any introduction to students or the campus (my husband and I got a tour, but the girls did not), having any sort of info available for us on how to access the computer system, where to go for help, how to contact any other families, etc.Absolutely no orientation whatsoever.I'm certain they got tired of hearing from me. - May 2012


A: Very good. - Sep 2010
