Columbus School for Girls Reviews

69 reviews

CSG offers a well-rounded, exceptional quality of education that is rather hard to find in the Greater Columbus area. But before you purchase one of those highly-coveted, notorious plaid skirts and ship your daughter off to no-man's-land, here are a few things to consider. The tight-knit, all girl environment of CSG is both a blessing and a curse. Your daughter will likely feel supported by her peers and faculty. Nevertheless, at times, she will be suffocated by resent-filled halls in which confrontation cuts like a dull knife. Problems with peers, if passive-aggressive, are inescapable and forging new connections is unheard of (try sticking with a class size of 30-40 for a decade!). Some of the bonds she forms will be resolute, but steer her toward activities (co-ed and otherwise) in other realms-- if CSG is a must. Moreover, CSG favors donors and their children, so do not expect sympathy from the money-hungry admin if you are middle class. Ultimately, don't fall for the hype.

Review Columbus School for Girls

Columbus School for Girls has the most elite collection of teachers whose education ranges from great experience and even to doctoral degrees. Your education and the environment of talented students invokes the desire to learn. My only advice is a reconsideration on an administration level. Rather than hear from your head of school that your education is a “business transaction” or that social issues involving harmful language is to be solved by sitting in a room with the offender where they are allowed to tell the victim how they are wrong, I think careful thought and consideration could be put in to better solve these remarks or dilemmas. Regardless, you cannot find better teachers than the ones at CSG anywhere else. They genuinely care about students and make learning feel like an opportunity rather than a burden.

As a senior at CSG who's spent 7 years here, I've been at this school for a long time. CSG has a lot of good things about it, but there are some things you should be aware of before attending. CSG has excellent teachers, and most students here form close relationships with them. You can always meet individually to ask for help, and they all have office hours/free periods to faciliate that. There's a wide variety of classes here that get more interesting as you progress, and the academics are difficult but not impossible. There is a significant amount of homework that can become overwhelming at times. Sports here are my least favorite part. If you're not already "good" at one before coming, you will not get better. The food here is AMAZING, and you'd be pressed to find better food anywhere else. This is initially why I came lol. Diversity here is on the race in racial, gender (yes, gender), and socioeconomic areas which is nice to see. The social life here is severely lacking.
