Truely an incrdible experience for my children. The educational expectations are impressive, and the school encourages and expects high moral character. Extra curricular activities are many and varied. Test scores are high! And, all this is FREE! Sadly, Greensboro Academy's waiting list is unbelievably long...which explains why many must resort to private schools and their tution. Guilfprd County should be examining this information; Obviously, this school has found a way to give students a quality educational experience at no cost to parents. THERE IS A MESSAGE HERE!
