Common Ground High School (CGHS) is located on the New Haven Ecology Project's 20-acre farm at the base of West Rock Ridge in New Haven, CT. Common Ground offers a comprehensive high school curriculum to prepare students for college and future careers. Through hands-on inquiry, research and investigation, students will develop Academic Accomplishment, Ecological Literacy, Commitment to Community and Strong Character.
