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!!!!

NOT the case here. For five years I placed a visit to the school at the beginning of every school year to go over custody paperwork that strictly denied the other parent access to the child at school. It's a shame that apparently anyone can walk into this school and take your child. It took six months to get my child back and a well deserved visit to the superintendents office to straighten out paperwork they messed up. I have never been so thankful my child no longer attends this school. And trust me, if I could afford it, I'd send them to private school!

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.

My wife and I are not Catholic, and rarely go to religious services, but we wanted our children to…read moreattend a school where there is an emphasis on both teaching and moral values. Both our children have attended STM since kindergarten (over 9 years!), and we've been very happy with the education they've received, as well as the community of parents, most of whom are happy to volunteer with the school's many extra-curricular activities and events. Eighth grade graduation this past June was very poignant for all. The children dispersed to half dozen or so high schools in the area, with our child going to a public high school in Chapel Hill. Our child's grades at STM were not at the top of the class, but I'm pleased to report that for the first quarter in a Chapel Hill high school, "As" were received in honors Math, honors English, honors Biology, honors World History, and honors Spanish (as well as in gym and art)! Moreover, and almost equally important, our child has seamlessly managed the social transition from a relatively small Catholic school with small classes to a very large public school with much larger classes. We are very pleased with the academic - and moral -- preparation STM has provided our children, and we feel the academic rigor and discipline offered by STM have played a significant role in our child's relatively easy academic transition to a large public high school. We're also very happy with school's leadership, which most skillfully steered STM through the rocks and shoals of COVID times, and has brought on board -- and retained -- excellent teachers.
