“Girard has been a great experience for my daughter. While she has attended Girard she has supervision before and after school. This year they have provided more activities for my daughter. Due to my child attending Girard I have completed my bachelors degree. I am no longer low income and she still has a full scholarship.I know without this school it would have been very hard to care for my daughter and attend school full-time.”

“My child attended Girard College for 4 years. For the most part, it was a great experience. There were, however, a number of faculty who seemed to care very little about the overall educational experience of the children. Being that this is in fact a boarding school for low income children of single parent homes, it seems that staff would keep these issues in mind and work hareder to help the youth when they encounter set-backs. Unfortunately, scholarships are pulled when student grades suffer - many caused by the very same issues required for enrollment (low income, single parent households).”

“This is a wonderful school.Girard provides a safe and nurturing enviroment for my child. Both the educational and residential staff do an outstanding job. My child is well rounded and outgoing. He gets excellent grades and is looking forward to one day going to the college of his choice. I strongly recommend this school for future students and parents that want the best education available.”

“I really believe that if you are able to get your child into this school, then you should allow them to stay until the end. This is a very good school to send your child to, the staff is respectable and very caring. You don't have to worry at night about the safety of your child.”
