I was an international boarding student at Grier from 10th-12th grade. The students are well taken care of and made to feel safe in a secure, family-enviorment. The teachers are involved in the day to day lives of the students as well as in their academics. It was the best place to attend school, I feel Privileged

I went hear for 8th grade. The education was better than public school, but being a dance and horseback riding school it was not the best. The atmosphere is appauling to me, but perfect to others. It is very casual and careless. While that may be good to student lookig for a getaway, I was looking f...

Grier has been transformational for my daughter -- smart but with some emotional and learning challenges. We knew when we set foot on campus that Grier is a happy place. The program is highly structured but in a relaxed and supportive way, with an effective system of "carrots and sticks" that help m...
