Good, rigorous academics and great teachers who seem to care. Though academics are highly influenced by very very liberal policies. Far left politics have NO place in school should not be forced upon our daughters who we need to develop into strong and mature women. CSG simply does not produce women such as these but indoctrinates them.

Overall very positive experience. Sometimes the administration is questionable, but that seems to be an issue at every school. The teachers, food, and community are the best part mostly.

Overall CSG is a school in which you will be able to learn your power as a female in the busy world.

This 2022-2023 school year is my first year at CSG and the absolute encouragement and support that I've gotten from not only teachers and staff but students themselves have led me to be able to be more courage's and progressive in my studies. I was blessed to have been able to come into a space where I'm encouraged and supported and be able to show individuals that I'm not another "stupid black girl" but an African-American educated young woman.

This school isn't a school at all. It's a program that shoves God down your throat, doesn't take your needs seriously, and mo...

The administration needs an overhaul. This used to be an ELITE school. Some of the reviews say they can’t believe the bad reviews. I can’t believe their good ones. Only families with large donations survive this school.
