Please note: CGPS recognizes this may be a challenge for some students and families given the pandemic and therefore, we are officially test optional this year. We have always had a holistic approach to reviewing all applicants. Please know, we equally support students who decide to submit standardized test results and those who do not as there are many factors we review during the Admission Process, for example: school records, recommendations, interviews, etc.
