Calgary Girls Charter School - Lakeview Campus

ok yay girl power but go girls wasted the months from september to december this year so badly like sure its fine go girls is cool and it teaches us to be independent and whatever but what did we learn? taking photos :)

My daughter had attended this school for grades 6-8. She absolutely hated this school and there staff. The staff is rude and unkind. She had no friends for years. All the girls there are no one you would want to be friends with. I would never recommend this school to anybody. She went years with no education. I am so unimpressed with that school.

We have been with the Calgary Girls' School for 3 years now and I can't say enough good things about the school. Students are performing significantly above provincial averages and are getting accepted into any high school of their choice. This speaks to the high calibre of teaching by committed staff who I believe do a wonderful job carefully balancing leading-edge teaching practices with tried-and-true methods, while incorporating technology into learning in a way that will prepare the girls for the world they will be living and working in. One of the other reasons we came to the school was for the wide range of opportunities that the girls are given above and beyond the required core curriculum. The Go Girls" program helps to build confident

We moved to the Calgary Girls School from the Calgary Arts Academy when my eldest daughter was not seeing enough academic growth. We were so amazed by the positive changes that she went through during her first year, entering in grade 7 - she gained confidence, made huge strides ahead in her academic ability, and learned to have a voice of her own. She is now in Grade 10, and is pursuing a technical career in autobody and construction - something she never would have considered before attending the Girls School! I completely credit the wonderful and supportive teachers and curriculum of the Girls School with giving her this amazing foot up in the world. Our youngest child has just started attending the Girls School in Grade Four, and she is loving every minute. She is excited about school and learning, whereas last year in grade 3 she never had anything new to share (from her old school). She can hardly wait for the weekend to be over so she can get back to her friends and the Girls School. I wish there was a way to tell more grade 2 and 3 families about this amazing school so they can find it sooner for their girls. You won't regret a move to this school in any grade.

Honestly this school was the worst experience, like if I could I would give 0 stars. During my 6 year experience girls were very clique-y and were not open to making new friends. In the end, I wasn't able to make any friends because most did not want any more or would pick on me. I remember once being called to the office for something I did not do (mind you I was only 9 or 10yrs), and the adults would use intimidation tactics to scare me and make me feel worse about something I did not do. I tried to say I didn't do anything but no one believed me. I also remember many times being bullied by girls my age and once by one of their mothers for my eating and socializing habits on a field trip. The old principal and even the new one now, were extremely inconsiderate of my feelings and how intimidating me would impact my growth into adulthood. These events along with many more at this school ruined my self confidence and my early years as a child.

Both of my daughters attended this school from Grades 4 to 9. I can't say enough positive things about CGS. It provides young girls and women with incredible opportunities to explore who they are in a safe and supportive environment. The staff was always ready for any challenges my daughters had. The communication between home room teachers and my wife and I was always timely and caring.The extra curricular programs are strong and give every student a place to belong and feel good about their accomplishments. I'm surprised by some of the comments saying that this isn't a place of inclusion. Our experience was the exact opposite. Both of our daughters were welcomed into the community by their fellow classmates. They were both very sad to leave the school when grade 9 ended.5 stars isn't enough. Thank you CGS for making a difference to our family and helping to guide our girls onto a their path. We are forever grateful.

My Daughter was one of the first students to attend this school in grades 7 and 8 and I really hope that they have improved since then. I know the Principal is different so maybe this has made a difference. I was thinking back to her time there and how she was treated. I remember being told by a teacher that she would never amount to anything. So I want to fast forward to today and she is now 26 years old and not only graduated from High School with honours but attended post secondary and is working for a company doing graphic design and also freelancing. She owns her own condo and is currently travelling the world. She is a wonderful, caring person and I think this is despite the bullying she suffered from the administration at that school. I would love to go back and find the teacher who told me she wouldn't amount to anything. I wonder what she's doing now.

My daughter went to this school and she had the worst experience ever. Her teacher is so racist. The teacher should be educated to treat Asians right. They need to learn how to teach kids education properly. If I could I would rate this horror school a 0. Please take this as a sign to teach the teachers how to respect students properly of all color.

I have had both of my children attend CGS for for the last 5 years and can't say enough positive things about this program. It focuses on building strong, kind and independent women and very much teaches the girls a fantastic global view on current events. I have had nothing but positive interactions with all of the caring teachers and can't thank them enough for caring for our girls through these formative years. It is refreshing to have girls who act age appropriately and are celebrated for being quirky and different! Can't recommend it enough.
