Monthly Parent Meetings & Parent Online Community

Each campus hosts a monthly online session for parents, where school leaders share updates, announcements, and address questions. These meetings also offer a platform for parents to provide feedback and engage directly with our leaders.

As we welcome new members from our Greenwich and US campuses, we encourage parents to join our "Parents of CGA" Facebook Group. This online community is designed for current and new CGA parents to connect, share insights, and interact with one another. You can find the group by searching for "Parents of CGA" on Facebook.
