School Reviews5 10/10/2025Greensboro Academy is such a great school. My daughter started in Kindergarten and is now in first grade, she is learning things that I learned in third grade... social studies, multiplication, geography, spelling and something that my schools never studied... moral focus. I love it! She is reading above her grade level and enjoys learning. The teachers are really dedicated to the children, and I love the dress code- uniforms. The school encourages parent involvement and you are welcome to volunteer in your child's class anytime. It's just been a positive experience for my child from the word go. You can't go wrong if you choose Greensboro Academy.Review Greensboro Academy. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
