Important Updates

The Institute for Innovation and Leadership

We are pleased to celebrate the launch of The Institute for Innovation & Leadership, our distinctive and premier experiential learning program found only at CSG. The Center Directors have worked diligently to plan programs for this year, and below you will find details about some of the early offerings. Please reach out to the Center Directors or to Kamaya Prince Thompson, Assistant Head of School, for details about any of the following opportunities:

Center for Girls & Young Women’s Leadership
In the Upper School, the Center has launched two elective courses, Leadership Seminar and CFO. A lecture and discussion-based class, Leadership Seminar I will feature scholarly articles, guest speakers, and personality and leadership assessments to help students develops the skills to express their authentic selves. Taught by financial advisors from Budros, Ruhlin, and Roe, CFO introduces students to careers in finance and foundational skills for managing personal finance by exploring budgeting, credit cards, credit scores, interest rates, taxes, and insurance policies.

Center for Mathematical Reasoning
In September, the Center will launch a Math Peer-Tutoring program in which Upper School students will be trained in best practices to provide near-peer tutoring for students across the school. Reach out to Dr. Stephen Lewis for more information on this exciting program. Our Math Olympiad will also offer a way for students in Forms IV-V to practice their skills together in a friendly, competitive atmosphere.

Center for Science Research & Engineering
This year, the Center will launch the first-of-its-kind CSG Science Research Journal, allowing students from PYC through the US to publish their scientific research. Connect with Dr. Stephanie Nelson for additional information.

Center for Artistic & Creative Expression
Our first-ever Chalk Festival will be held Saturday, October 7. This will be an fun and exciting opportunity to bring your family to campus to learn more about chalk art and to create your own chalk design on the courtyard. A light breakfast will be available and proceeds will go to support funding for tuition assistance at CSG. Stay tuned for more details!

Center for Equity and Belonging
Save the date for Spring Break World Dance Camp. Open to forms IV-XII, campers will spend each day learning dance ranging from Polynesian to Irish Step, and from Bollywood and Classical Indian to Kpop. This camp will run the second week of spring break (March 25-29), the same week as Linda Resch's spring break camp open to PYC - Form III students.

Center for Global Citizenship
The Center is hard at work planning for global experiences for upper school students this spring. US families can look out for communication from the Center about the Global Travel Programs meeting to be held in a few weeks.

Safety Update

The safety of our students and our community is our top priority, and we are committed to regularly reviewing and updating our protocols toward this end. As the school year gets underway, we have several safety and security updates.

We've added additional Security film to the PYC entrance and windows and already have this film in other areas of the school to provide better protection from outside threats.
Our Emergency Operations Team completed a tabletop exercise that gave us the opportunity to prepare for emergencies and practice situations that could occur on our campus.
Additional updates have been added to Ruvna, our emergency notification and communications app, to make information easily accessible in the event of an emergency.
Internet has been added to a few areas of Kirk Campus to provide better cellular access for emergency notifications and communication.
A new ID Badge system is also being implemented for Faculty, Staff, and Upper and Middle School students that will help give faster access to the building during school hours and provide easier identification for administrative purposes.

As a reminder, all visitors and guests must check in at our front desk located at the school's main entrance on Drexel Avenue. Please refrain from asking students to let you into the school building using any other door. We are grateful in advance for your partnership in helping them practice the behaviors that will work best to keep our community safe.

Badges for students

As part of our continued efforts surrounding safety and security at school, older students will receive ID Badges to facilitate easier access to the school building. Upper and Middle School students will receive an ID Badge after September 1. These badges will give them access to school during school hours. Students will not have access to school after hours, except in cases of extracurricular activities. Badges are considered a part of the uniform, and girls should have them on their person each day. Lost badges should be immediately reported to Division Directors or Advisors.
