Our family relocated here from the US. From the moment that we inquired about the school via…read moreonline we received a response almost immediately. Within two days they scheduled a video conference and answered all our questions. We were impressed and knew this was the school for our children. When we arrived to the school we felt welcomed and special. Our kids started in November of 2017 and have been able to settle in and love their school. The teachers are all compassionate, caring and dedicated to the students growth and overall success. Through my time of volunteering at the school I have come to know everyone of the teachers and have truly witness the positive impact they have made on my children's lives. Our children are not only getting a quality education but are being discipled for Christ in a Christian environment! We highly recommend the school to all parents! Your children will be blessed and will be impacted! This investment will be everlasting!

If you are looking for an echo chamber for evangelical Christianity than this the place for you…read more Otherwise it is definitely not. The facility is in bad shape, with a roof leak that has not been fixed, but has been known for years, filthy floors, dirty sinks, bathroom doors that don't lock half the time and a fume hood that has been unable to be used for years. Although mostly friendly, the staff and speakers are often biased in the worst ways. Obsessed with proving the superiority of Christianity, countless speeches against the lgbt community, a paranoia that everyone else is being manipulated by Satan into conspiring to tear down Christianity, and a constant lecturing that everyone is a sinful wreck who deserves to go to Hell. Instead of taking criticism, the school merely sees it as the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies, which means that they're doing a good job.The classes most dripping with Christian bias are mandatory religious studies classes, which there is no way to get out of.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not full of rich, snobby kids, but instead students who are kind, talented, accomplished, creative, and mature (many of whom do admittedly come from wealthy families). The school prepares you phenomenally well for university, mostly in terms of learning what to value and how to work hard. The student-teacher relationship is unparalleled. An example- students have some teachers' cell numbers, and the teachers are for the most part available to help out with questions at all times, even visiting the library past midnight to aid with exam studying. HGS is no doubt rigorous academically, but the tight-knit community and interested and interesting teachers go far beyond their duties to create incredible men and women. I can not say enough about Grammar.
