The GW Community School provides the personal attention my child needs, both academically and socially. It is a wonderful community where the staff really supports and encourages the students to do their best. The atmosphere is a great mix of allowing students to be independent while encouraging community.

GW Community School is a welcoming place that goes easy on its students so that they can may learn more than they normally would. While other schools would waste time trying to overly discipline their students, this place earns their friendship, teaching them better. The lack of certain punishments like detention can perpetuate rowdy students, but it is a godsend that encourages others to work hard and do their best.

After our son struggled to connect with other students in his mega public high school, we tried GW. Best decision we ever made.
