Families choose to send their children to JCG so that they can benefit from our education and values. Therefore, in choosing JCG, it is implicit that parents / guardians support the College in its expectations. These expectations are expressed in the Home School Agreement and the various College policies to which it refers. 

JCG seeks to provide transformational learning that fosters the development of head, heart and humanity and inspires each student to make a lasting and positive impact on their world. Our vision and values are clear and underpin everything we do: https://jerseycollegeforgirls.com/pages/about-jcg/our-vision-and-values.

This strong foundation enables our students to be remarkable and inclusive young people who achieve highly in their academic and co-curricular endeavours. Within our JCG family - of students, parents, staff, governors, alumni and the JCG Foundation - we are committed to maintaining high standards of education in an environment in which care and respect for others, a passion for learning and the pursuit of excellence can thrive.
