Private Schools

Worse school in the world, racist as well. Definitely white privileged. I'm an honour student, been since I was in grade 7. But at this school, the teachers are pretty rude, theres only 2/3 teachers that are actually nice. That new blonde teacher is a real pain, she always forgets and students always have to correct her. Shes definitely one of the worse, I learned absolutely nothing from her. I would love if this school could shut down, I've never hated a school so much.

I just thought id place my input because ive had a rather mixed experience at this school .3 stars because other then two individuals this school is remarkable and great most of the staff are great ppl that love both god and children. However the two minused stars are due to one of the grade one teachers and the principle but mainly the grade one teacher because my issue with the principle is only that he certainly does not have a customers always right attitude towards the paying parents and is very loyal to the staff to the point that even when a staff is dead wrong he will have the staffs back rather then be worried about the best interest of your child. But anyways when i went to speak with the principle to be honest i didnt feel heard or understood. I felt his only interest was to belittle my concerns and defend his employee. Now the grade one teacher and i dont get along due tothe fact that although my son is a very bright boy and he gets great marks and gets nothing less then around 92 percent and his teacher is doing a wonderful job at presenting the material, her supervision skills are sorely lacking a great deal this whole arguement is happening because i dont want her sitting to baby him through some school work then ignoring him for the rest of the school day then makeing him take it home .her job is to simply supervise as this is a private school and the system is a bit different. She should present the assignments teach the children then the children go into there seperate offices and do the work independantly and if a child needs a bit of extra instruction she may stand beside them break it down for them then walk away and supervise from a distance in the class untill another childs hand goes up now my son is daydreaming during class then bringing work home all i asked is that rather then sitting in school all day because she sits right beside him for a little then ignores him the rest of the day why doesnt she explain the work break it down for him if needed then simply supervise him that means regularly walk by him check and insure he is working not daydreaming. Nicely tap him on the shoulder every so often and remind him to work. Thats litteraly all i was asking and she freaked out left a long rude message stateing that "if he cant focus then he can simply just spend another year in grade one and thats fine" ( its only september) parents what would u do if you have a child with like 90% average but likes to day dream and a teacher takes the attitude that rather than simply teaching him to focus and manage his time well she would rather hold him back a year.....just to be nastey.

Ali took time to understand and explain his cut. Worked out beautifully.

Very large located in a easy safe corner

CDI is the academic equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig. If you’re smarter than me and decided to read reviews before enrolling, let me tell you why you shouldn’t. I enrolled in the Network Systems Administrator course in the summer of 2015 (1-year program) at the CDI South location (Midnapore). I interviewed a couple different schools. This one was the most convenient location for me. The admissions “recruiter” at the time, a guy named Floyd, was on me like a used car salesman the moment I showed them interest. He made a huge hype about how high their success rates and hire rates and certifications perks were. He literally promised the world and said that their staff was there to support and guide us - especially since it was a smaller school community and a lot of students with no post-secondary experience. So where do I start. It’s going to have to be a bullet list so you’re not here reading all day. Brace yourself! • The tablet that comes with the course (and is how you access your text books) took almost a month to get. I had to keep reminding them that I paid for it and desperately needed it for my studies • That admissions “recruiter” was fired a month into my course for stealing the $100 cash deposits paid by students – mine included – and the school tried to sweep it under the rug by adding that $100 back to my bill! • I was told there would be hands-on training with actual networking equipment, instead it was all lab simulators that I could have just done from home. I never once saw or touched a switch or router! • Our instructor had a heavy language barrier, then he quit half way through the year only to be replaced by someone with an even heavier language barrier! • At the start of the course there was enough workstations for all the students. By the end people were bringing their own laptops and working from the back of the class because they oversold their spaces in the class • We were promised “vouchers” to take the certification exams of the courses we studied (Microsoft, Cisco and CompTia). When the course was finished, we were told they no longer gave vouchers for the Microsoft exams and that they stopped doing that “years ago” • Getting the remaining vouchers was like pulling teeth! It took me 6 months after completing the course for someone to finally figure out how to even get the vouchers, let alone get them to me • If I hadn’t called in a favor from a family friend, I would never have gotten into a practicum and passed, and I would have student loans demanding their money back • The testing centre for the exams is the CDI North location and they literally stick you in a broom closet at the reception area with a broken chair and an old crappy computer. It’s noisy, filthy and incredibly hard to focus • We were JUST informed of our grad ceremonies: this June, more than a year after completing. • I have one exam left that I had booked for tomorrow. I’ve been preparing for it for months. I booked the time off work and made arrangements. I just got an email from Pearson Vue (the company that handles the exams for them) that they were cancelling me for tomorrow. When I called the north CDI to ask why, all the girls could say was “uuuuuh… like, I don’t know. Like I think we just found out and like, are gonna take the day off or something. Like…” I could go on with experiences but I’ll wrap it up. Don’t waste your time or money. This was a huge investment not only for myself, but for my wife and kids as well. These experiences have caused so much stress and strife in our lives! The organization as a whole is unprofessional, cheap and only interested in getting your money! Most of the staff is not qualified to do their jobs and they will make promises they can’t keep (if they even work there long enough to have the opportunity to let you down). I’m incredibly disappointed, I communicated these levels of disappointment with them all throughout and never saw changes. Their entire focus and budget is spent on recruiting. Go to SAIT.

This Is A Nice School Even 200 Computers In The Basemint I think

Very professional instructor with patient and mindful pedagogy to students who are from different culture backgrounds. Highly recommend to people who wanted to raise their marks on language tests.

This school is an average school. The teachers are nice, and the homework is reasonable, but the washrooms. The washrooms are disgusting. Whenever you walk in, you smell something that is similar to urine but really, really strong.

Dave is very knowledgeable and has great ideas of how to help grow/market my business. Thanks Paradox :)

The new waiting list system was unfair to my kid. When we inquire for more information, the answer is cold and flat --- Information from website and PDFs of school policy. Disappointment and bureaucracy.

I was a student at this school for 4 years and when I went to dr George Stanley the middle school it was a lot different when your child comes home with a report card that has mostly 4s don’t honk your child is some genius when I started going to dr George I was not getting the grades I was at this school. The teachers are very hands on and they develop around your child’s needs all they need to do is have stricter grading

You need to stop your bullying and start dealing with it properly at your school. I'm so upset that a little boy had to cut his beautiful cultural hair because bullying happened at your school.
