The teachers challenge each child at their personal academic level, while providing a rigorous yet holistic approach to education. In addition to a sound academic curriculum, the children are exposed to both visual and performing arts, public speaking, a foreign language, physical education, with an emphasis on collaborative and interactive work and play. I actively educated both my children and grandchildren and that leaves me rarely impressed with traditional schools. Having visited and interviewed several schools in the Gainesville as well as the South Florida areas, I find this school genuinely impressive. From the beautiful grounds, the passionate teachers, the insightful administrators to and including the overall culture, you will assuredly provide your child with an exceptional learning experience at Gainesville Country Day School.

The school teachers are not trained to deal with students that have any type of learning…read moredisability, and do not have any other staff to support children with learning disabilities. Their "Title One" program is poor and does not really offer help to the student, is more of a "detention" than learning. Homework and responsibility of learning are constantly being shoved to the parent because the teachers are busy teaching "the FCAT" so that they all can pass and the school can get a good score. There is not real care about the children well being and future by any of the staff, including the principal. When presented with the challenge of a student that cant "run with the pack", the teachers will immediately label your child as lazy, depressed, among other names. They will offer you no testing of any sort or any kind of assistance to try to determine if your child has a disability or does not actually want to do the work. My experience and my child's experience with this school were nothing short of a nightmare. I would recommend being proactive early if you think your child might have a disability and seek for an alternate school. I guarantee that you will not receive any support from anyone at the school to actually help with your child's learning.

This is not really a review of the school itself, but rather of its drama department and a show I…read morerecently attended. Watching a cast of students from all high school grades pull off "Treasure Island" was an absolute joy! I graduated high school a long time ago, and the school I went to didn't have a drama department at the time. Heck, when the football team would walk off the field at half-time, the band would walk out with the entire brass section clothed in football attire because they did double-duty. However, I remember what a bunch of doofuses we were back then, and the thought of pulling off a dramatic production of a story that hasn't really been a popular story for a number of decades was laughable. So imagine my surprise in sitting down and watching a show where the entire production, from direction to props to set to acting, was all done by the students with minimal involvement from teaching staff! The auditorium the show was performed in is your typical high school auditorium, with some amount of professional lighting but nothing spectacular. Sound is good, and the performers did not need microphones for the most part. The set? Wow... just wow. All of the pieces were appropriate for the show, and the costuming was really well done. As for the show itself, well... the lead role of Jim Hawkins was performed brilliantly by a tenth grader, whose multiple monologues were performed with beautiful inflection and nary a slip of memory. She interacted well with the rest of the cast, and to top it all off, she was also the one to choreograph all of the fights in the show, which included multiple one-on-one fights as well as a couple of mass melee's that are very tough to coordinate while still making them look good. The rest of the cast performed their directions admirably, and I have to give credit to all of them for pulling off an exceptional show. Their teacher, who has been teaching at Buchholz for decades, should take great pride in his students who have performed so well.
