About Us
Message from the CGS Director:
Clover Garden School is a special place! We take our educational pursuits seriously in a relaxed, respectful environment. Teachers and students develop meaningful relationships complemented by many involved parents. Our governing board of directors are dedicated to the mission of the school and keeping the school pointed in a direction that is efficient and successful. Our Parents Teachers Together (PTT) organization is a working group of parents and supporters who never stop their efforts to make the school the best it can be. The Site Advisory Committee (SAC) provides that valuable link between the school and community to keep everyone at the pulse of our school goals.
CGS is tuition free. It is not an alternative school in the traditional sense. Simply, CGS gives parents and students a choice in their child's education. CGS is not for everybody because of its profound expectations in academics and behavior. We respect different learning styles and understand every student wants to find a special place in his/her school. Students need teacher-directed instruction, academic support at home, and the ability to deal with the various performance pressures at school. CGS strives to make positive things happen for students.

Sincerely,
Dr. David Pugh, Director
