Our daughter graduated in 2006 and is now a junior in college. She had struggled in public middle school. At Convent, which she attended by her preference, she got the mentoring she needed to go from academic mediocrity to being a fine student. The breadth and depth of her academic coursework was superior.
... Read more The setting was inspiring. She took advantage of many extracurricular opportunities. She finds college easy after Convent. Her professors praise her work ethic. She chose her friends wisely. I would not deny the dark side described by the previous poster exists at Convent but I am not aware of any high school that does not have a dark side for those who are drawn to such things. The dark side did not represent the majority in her class. Read less

Academically I was pleased and surprised by the quality and classicism of the education my daughter received here. She finds college to be easy, her study & writing skills superior, and her general academic knowledge to be comprehensive. But there is a significant and disturbing downside to this school.
... Read more The ethics and conduct of the students were appalling. With a few exceptions, girls treated each other abominably, engaged in heavy drinking and drug use routinely, cheated on tests and work. The administration is impressive but did not rein this in. The conduct of the students was reprehensible. The enormous wealth of many students seemed to go hand in hand with disinterested if not completely abdicated parenting, ready access to drugs & alcohol, and despite the uniform dress code, out of control focus on designer clothing, jewelry, and accessories.

A CSH education is invaluable. While other private schools offer a solid education, CSH ensures that its students learn various subjects and are exposed to many extracurricular activities whether it's athletics, arts, student government, campus ministry, or the school paper.

My children have attended CSH for well over a decade, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the school. My friends are, frankly, disappointed that they made different choices for their teenagers because they were initially put off by the all-girls environment. The 'brother' school, Stuart Hall High School,

Read more provides coed interaction in drama, music and sporting, yet my daughters have not been distracted by boys during the school day, helping them to become highly successful students who were accepted to the colleges of their choices through early admissions. I do not agree with the last comment that the quality of students has diminished as I see the opposite to be true, judging from my daughters' friends and the school's extensive Advanced Placement course offerings. Read the school newspaper. It is not only excellent, but it gives you a good sense of the quality of the students, teachers and program. Read less

The academic program in this school is excellent and challenging. Girls who have graduated from this school notice how much more general knowledge they have than their peers who also attended private schools. The curriculum is outstanding. This is a wonderful school, great faculty and beautiful campus
... Read more with breathtaking views. Although it is a single-sex school, there are constant opportunities to be with the boys and girls of the sister schools that share campus facilities. Biggest drawback is the socio-economic and ethnic lack of diversity. The majority of the students come from the best and richest families in the bay area. When the students leave this privileged setting, they might have to face the real world (or they might just move into another sheltered environment with their college selection). I highly recommend this school. Read less
