Thrive at CGS

"We feel so fortunate to have found this gem of an educational environment - I can't believe 8 years has passed...You have created something so special and our children have all been given solid foundations of creativity, confidence, self-awareness and leadership that is very difficult to foster in the Primary years. We truly are blessed to have been a part of your CGS family and I don't think 'Thank You' quite describes how appreciative we are - of your school, the environment, your leadership and the immense kindness." – a CGS parent

 

“You have a wonderful group of staff and teachers throughout the school and it's no wonder that you have such a strong reputation within the community and among all the independent schools.” – a current CGS parent

 

“We are grateful to have had the CGS experience. I know our kids are better for it.” – a current CGS parent

 

“All the great comments are deep down from our heart and CGS is such a wonderful school!! Every single staff at CGS is amazing!! I always tell my friends and family that choosing CGS is the best decision (my husband) has ever made other than marrying me. LOL” – a current CGS parent

At CGS, we believe in a balanced approach for your child's education.

Our challenging, personalized academic curriculum is complemented by our exceptional arts, public speaking, French language, and physical education programming. We place a strong emphasis on character and cultural education and mindfulness.

Children usually come to us well before they can read and often before they can even hold a pencil. It is our privilege to nurture them through their early stages of learning - from reading their first book in JK to writing their first essay in Grade 3.

Our caring CGS staff is there to see that your child thrives academically and socially. Our small class sizes ensure no child falls through the cracks. Programming is structured yet flexible, to support students at all levels of their development.

"Our children have had outstanding experiences at CGS. We are thrilled that their formative years have been spent in such a nurturing environment."
