By sixth grade, my daughter had become deeply depressed at NGFS, and we were genuinely concerned…read morefor her mental health. Her early years were positive--she loved the Rainbow program, and we are especially grateful to Beth, who helped her develop a love of reading despite auditory processing challenges. Unfortunately, things changed significantly as she got older. In fourth grade, a tick bite during the week-long school trip was egregiously mishandled--whether due to a lack of protocol or a failure to follow one, the result is that she now lives with chronic Lyme disease. Our family has paid nearly $30,000 out-of-pocket for medical treatment, in addition to the high tuition we had already invested in the school. Academically, she was ahead in math, but when we advocated for her to take Math 1 in seventh grade, NGFS flat-out refused to consider it. After transferring to Greensboro Montessori, she was placed in Math 1 and earned a 96. She went on to earn As in each subsequent math course and is now in a senior-level math class as a 10th grader. Clearly, she was more than capable--she just needed a school willing to meet her where she was. My daughter ultimately asked to leave because she felt isolated and alienated. Although the school promotes inclusivity, she quickly realized this didn't seem to apply to students like her. When she tried to assert healthy boundaries with peers, she was often reprimanded--not for what happened, but for how she expressed herself. Ongoing micro-bullying from peers was never meaningfully addressed, even after I raised concerns. She thrived at Greensboro Montessori in 7th and 8th grade, where we found the environment far more supportive and attentive to real inclusivity. She is now thriving at Grimsley High School, where she has a 504 plan in place to support her health. To be fair, NGFS has a strong writing curriculum in the later elementary years, and my daughter's writing skills like owe much to those foundational years. But it's hard to reconcile that benefit with the emotional and physical toll she experienced. If I had to do it all over again, I would have moved her by third grade.

New Garden Friends School is a treasure in the Greensboro area. There is no other school that…read moreoffers a similar program. This school provides a safe, supportive, and gentle environment, rigorous academics, very low student teacher ratios, incredible academic support both in-class and one-on-one, a gorgeous campus in the historic woods of Guilford College, a social curriculum that teaches peacemaking, environmental sustainability, personal integrity, kindness and empathy, and community building, not to mention a fantastic arts program, and extra-curricular activities. I have been amazed at how my children have blossomed at this school. There is an incredible sense of community here and everyone knows each other by name and everyone is valued. Children are spoken to respectfully and encouraged to speak their truths, and parents are encouraged to be active in the classrooms and on campus. The school values inquiry-based and experiential learning, and outdoor education. I love that my children get to spend so much time outdoors each day and not stuck behind a desk or on a screen. They often have classes outside and regularly go on hikes through the surrounding historic woods. Starting as early as preschool, each class has their very own plot on the Guilford College farm directly adjacent to the school where they dig in the dirt, grow and care for their own plants, and learn about environmental sustainability. Students go on walks in the woods, care for streams, and develop a sense of wonder and joy as they spot fairy gardens and play amongst ancient oaks. It is truly magical. A childhood like this is priceless and we are so grateful that we found this school--so grateful that our children get to experience an education like this.

Their Beyond Academics program is a scam because it's just modifications. More like Beyond…read moreAnnoying! Anyways... When I was 20 years old (this was in the spring of 2017, BTW), my parents and I toured the university. I was still in high school at the time (I'm autistic in case you are not aware). I had a mental breakdown on the car ride home to Candler because I felt inconvienced by the whole thing. The tour guides were nice, but that's literally the only good thing I have to say. UNC Greensboro, you are the reason why I have no faith in the post-secondary educational realm! You're damn lucky I didn't end up in the mental hospital because if I did, you punks will pay for putting me through a lot of pain! Now that I'm older and wiser (I'm 26, BTW), I should've reconsidered touring the place. I hope the Beyond Academics program gets shut down and I hope the person in charge of the program gives up his or her position. BOTTOM LINE, NEVER EVER SET FOOT AT THIS PLACE! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR ALL I CARE! I DEMAND YOU APOLOGIZE TO ME RIGHT NOW!

"Ew, why are you writing a review for a university?"…read more"Because I can, so shut your trap." I went here for undergrad and I had such a great experience, minus 2 of the roommates I had who became sudden haters overnight. Well, that means I did something right ;) This university is very diverse for one that is in the south. Yes, I said it. There were always events going on, the apartments on campus are really nice, convenience stores the best on campus ones I've seen, the financial aid office was top notch, and the teachers I had were personable and I was able to talk to them and they didn't have a God complex when they had Ph.D's. I have nothing but 85% good memories about college & made great friends I will have for life. The city of Greensboro itself? Meh. VERY little nightlife, eateries, and events compared to NYC. But if you're with people who you can have fun with regardless, the surrounding area is an added bonus OR an obstacle that you will tackle. The End.

Our Lady of Grace started a 3 year old pre-k this year and we enrolled her. It is such a beautiful environment. The way all schools should be. There is diversity among the students and staff. Discipline is compassionate, firm, and predictable. The curriculum for the very young and the middle school children (the only ones I am familiar with) is age appropriate and challenging. There are opportunities for students to move up or down a grade in a particular subject to best accommodate their abilities. A beautiful place to learn about life!

Get your kids out of there if you can to a more orderly place of education like St. Pius, IMH, or Blessed Sacrament which has STEM. olg used to be good, but all good teachers leaving and the coo gets to stay, mucking up the school! Bad attitudes from 4th and fifth grade teachers and a few other teachers over picky little things, like snacks, where to park, which keeps changing, etc. Bathrooms are grungy! Whole school needs a scrub down! No principal, sinking ship! They just put an eight grade teacher in place as principal to act like they have one. Many parents do not even think she qualifies enough in experience and degrees to be a principal. They just promoted a friend. They lie to parents. They never really found a principal, so they just put a friend in school in place fast to hush parents up. No leadership, they make rules as they go, change parking rules three or more times a year infuriating parents, teachers and priests leaving in the past two to three years. Dysfnctional! Getting out of here fast!!!!

At first everything seemed to be perfect as they were working with us in getting him to adopt in starting preschool. Last week we started getting reports of him biting other children something that we were already working at home with him. Every time I was notified, they made it seemed that it was my son as the aggressor. The more I asked about what led up to him reacting this way I got vaig information. In one case it was brought up to me where my son just got up from his seat and pushed the kid and proceeding to biting but one of the teachers couldn't tell me what happened before that. I met with the teachers and the director and we got a plan going on how we will proceed moving forward. And I was working hard at home so that the incidents of biting would stop. This week I'm being told that my son has now proceeded to not only bite but slap a kid and then aggressively grab another child. This too is a complete shock as my son is not and has never been aggressive. In fact other kids has hit him and he has not done anything. The biting yes and we are working on it and I took full responsibility for it. I wrote an email to the direct with my concerns and that my son will no longer be coming back and I just got a simple Im sorry to hear that and that she wishes the best of luck as well as stating that my son is not being singled out. Her generic email was not good enough for me as I would have thought that someone like her would want to investigate on what exactly happened to see if they can improve for other children in the future. After I demanded for answers and detail for every incident it was very clear to me that A. Teacher supervision is at a minimum which doesn't not make sense as there are a total of 7 or 8 students with 2 teachers B. My suspicion of them singling out my son was becoming more obvious and C. My son was being punished more severely than the other kids. Everything that the other kids did was age appropriate, the taking of the toys constantly even after "they had a talk to that child", the hitting etc. but what my son was doing was not only not tolerated but it was the worse thing ever, he was a risk to the other children. Every time I got informed my son was this aggressive kid who out of no where reacted in violence. The direct does not care enough to get to the bottom of what is going on unless it brought up to her attention by me as a parent. She doesn't investigate prior to be well prepared or to inform on what is actually happening and causing this. She just goes off of what teachers tells her. I don't believe that one of the teachers should be a working there as I do believe that a lot of the problems were caused by her, not properly supervising, not really caring and over exaggerating. Not to mention that the picture she provided of herself to showcase in the classroom as well as to give out was a bit sexual. When my child was picked up, It was always the sensation that they were ready to get rid of him at the end of the day with the teacher having little patience.If that was honestly the case and how they felt, I would have appreciated that to be expressed instead of having my kid suffer. Oh and forgot to mentioned now when we tell my son no to something he is doing bad, he puts his head down and don't look at you in your eyes and it all started last week and while he was in their care. Godly woman don't make kids and others feel like they are the worse people.
