private Placement

CGA has a distinguished record in counseling and placement of youngsters into hundreds of elementary and secondary high schools. Knowledge of public school disctricts and independent schools throughout the United States has been acquired by working with families who are relocating or simply looking for alternatives to their present school affiliations.

In each case, the special needs of the child are carefully considered, i.e. where are the best gifted and talented programs, support services for those with learning differences, and environments with strong faculty/student relationships. Schools and programs change. The professional staff at CGA is constantly updating information on schools through personal on-campus visits and in-depth research.

Is your child flourishing in the most appropriate learning environment?

If not, you may want to consider an independent school. Independent schools have the advantages of rigorous academics, a broad variety of extracurricular activities, small classes, individual attention and excellent, accessible teachers. They can reflect and reinforce your family's values and stress your personal educational goals.

In this era of myriad choices and competitive admissions, how do you discover a school where your child can enroll and thrive?
