My son has been at BGA for 4 years. In that time, I have watched him become the best young man he can be both academically, and socially. I love that the teachers really understand the students and understand their craft. It's obvious how much they love to teach and love to work at BGA from the moment you walk in the door. Middle School can be an uncertain time for kids and for families. BGA has taken the fear factor out of MS and given my son the tools to be confident and capable in every aspect of his life.

My wife sign a contract to send my kids to the school. I was not sure if I wanted my kids to attend. My wife sent the contract in without my signature. I knew both signature were required as it says it on the agreement. I received a letter few weeks later from the school telling me the contacts were incomplete. It was apparent after receiving the letter that we did not have a binding contract. So, I didn't think any more about it and sent my kids to other schools. To my surprise the school will try to enforce (legally) the incomplete contracts. The schools contract "requires" both parent signatures. Which means a lack of both is not binding. But the school will try to enforce the contract without both. This is misleading and a trap. It is not a parents responsibility but the schools to ensure its contracts are complete. An incomplete contract does not hold the school to reserve a spot for a student, nor does it obligate a parent to pay tuition if their child doesn't attend. To new and present parents, be cautious before signing. I find this to be a lack of integrity on the part of the school.
I went to BGA for 5 years. It was an amazing school with great teachers and students but, I know tuition can be a bit pricey so that's why I transferred to a magnet school.
The school never closes. In case of a snowstorm, they send alerts that will tell you to use precautions while driving . Same goes for flood warnings and any other weather issue.
We have had an excellent upper school experience here. Highly qualified, caring teachers and a safe environment. Compared to other schools, both private and public, this is the best.
Our daughter has excelled since she has gotten to BGA and it is due to the dedication of the teachers and the system that the staff has created for them to work in. Individualized instruction setting her up for great things in her future.
