Cos Cob School

My daughter attended ISD from Kindergarten through fifth grade. Very racially diverse school, not the 100% white privileged student population many from outside Greenwich believe it to be. Great communication with teachers and administrators, if you are not zoned for this school, which is an area towards the center of Old Greenwich then your child has to get in by lottery as it is magnet school, albeit for Greenwich residents from all sections of Greenwich. I have no complaints after 6 years, now my daughter is in Eastern Middle School an even higher ranked school.

My son is a middle schooler, he absolutely loves it. His academic work load is a multiple of what he had in the public school last year. He is now exceptionally challenged, really enjoys being with other bright and kind and respectful boys. Yes this is middle school where kids are usually at their most difficult, yet these kids are all so well mannered and respectful. Best decision ever was to go to Brunswick.

An exceptional school all around. My child will be graduating this spring with the first full matriculating senior class. She is headed to a great college, but she is so sad about leaving a school that has made the last 5 years an exceptional experience. It is difficult to capture what GCDS has created within the new high school. GCDS High School has managed to find educators who are talented, dedicated and inspiring. They have put together a student body that is supportive and kind and that really does demonstrate a commitment to building fine character. The administrators, coaches and all the employees are happy to be there and there has not been a single day in five years that my daughter did not look forward to going to school. The interdisciplinary curriculum helps student see their lessons as they apply to the world outside of the classrooms. There are creative intercessions and internships. The students have an array of sports and extracurricular activities and clubs and the administrators listen to the students and encourage a dialogue about school issues. The academics are rigorous, but there is constant support from the teachers, and students often work in groups so they learn a collaborative approach. She and her peers are heading off to colleges in all parts of the country, the hard part is that they are not just leaving their own families but their GCDS family as well. But I know that she will always remain connected to GCDS, and we will always be grateful for the opportunity to have had the opportunity to attend GCDS and be part of the Tiger Family.

RUN BEFORE THEY GET TO YOU!!!!THEY WILL FIND YOU!!!

We have been at Eagle Hill school since our son was 5 years old. Now as a 12 year old, he has thrived in the environment of thoughtful, specialized learning. The teachers at Eagle Hill truly customize the child's learning needs and provide creative ways to teach kids who struggle with language processing, executive functioning and other issues that stem from learning differences. We have seen our son go through the most positive change over the last few years. The school tracks progress of each child so they become confident and independent kids. In addition, their reading program is methodically proven to have great results. My son reads more than my older children. It is empowering for him.I highly recommend the school for the reasons above. If you have a child that struggles with traditional learning, this school is worth exploring. It is truly transformative for our son and our family.
