Private Schools

I am looking for a word that can describe how happy we are with our experience in Alive Montessori school! my 5 year old son joined the school in the he middle of the year but it was like he has been there for years! He loved going there and he didn't want to say goodbye at the end of the day! he liked the classroom, the children and most importantly he loved his teacher, Mrs Julia Simon! What an Amazing teacher and human being, very knowledgeable, caring and loving towards all the children! She really knows how to get the best out of each child, my son blossomed in the happy, nurturing and caring environment mrs Julia and her staff created in this school! Sending you love and our best wishes to continue your wonderful job in serving the children, much love

Nice time

I am a first year university student, working towards my Honors Bachelor of Business Administration degree at the Schulich School of Business. I took six courses at Don Valley Academy; both night school and day school. I had great marks in grade 10, but like many kids, found the transition from grade 10 to grades 11 and 12 quite difficult, and as a result, my marks dropped. On top of that, I didn't have any idea what I wanted to study, or where. Alex really helped me to figure out what I should study. He sat down with me, looked at my marks, and assisted me in choosing courses that I was interested in, and that would get me somewhere. But most of all, the teachers are extremely motivating, and encourage you to believe in yourself. They are knowledgeable, and teach you everything that you need to know to succeed in your university studies. They are always willing to help; both with homework, and with things outside of the classroom, such as preparation for university interviews. All in all, they create an atmosphere for successful learning to take place. Like many others, I was a smart kid, who, in grade 12, got a bit overwhelmed. I needed that little push to get me on the right track again, and Don Valley Academy did just that

The things you need to know but will not be told. Before you pay for this school there are a few things I wish I had known. 1. It is run by a family and the staff are not Ontario certified teachers. The staff are very uncaring and supportive. It feels like the mission statement should include - "It is our goal to destroy any self confidence your child has, and any passion for learning". The actual "teaching that occurs is very limited" but made up by endless hours of homework and projects. It is very focus on independent learning with little (really no) teaching or support. 2. In my opinion most importantly, staff turn a blind eye to the bullying that occurs at this school. Students openly use racial words, slander and bully other students. There are no restrictions on their behaviours and no repercussions. 3. Finally, Staff and admin are un accountable to parents. They are "above" returning calls or emails so do not accept to receive answers or relies. PLEASE look elsewhere!

An incredibly amazing school that focuses not only in the academic excellence but also in the character shaping of boys. In tangible ways, we see the difference how the teachers bring out the best in our boys. And what's more, there is a unique partnership with parents when it comes to the educational upbringing. Good moral values, virtues and kindness are reminded daily, lived and practiced. A dynamic community that one will just be proud to be a part of, as I am.

I agree with some of the recent reviewers. This school is impressive LOOKING................ As the reviewer below notes, the loss of France accreditation is devastating.

Best school in Toronto.

Good place

This is a great school. My daughter went there for five years, and I couldn't imagine a better school.

"Thanks to AVRO our son was able to find his strengths and grow from there. AVRO put a lot of thought into his course selections and made sure his teachers were a great fit. In his graduating year the staff was ever so helpful in guiding him through the university process. Avenue Road Academy helped prepare him both socially and academically for life after high school. We highly recommend this school to others."

Brighton is the best school by saikomal

Pretty satisfying huh WOW GUESS WHAT: I graduated

Could not be a better fit for my daughter. Staff is super friendly and helpful

Hope its changed since my kid went there. When we complained about a 14 year old bullying our 8 year old nothing was done.

My daughter spent 3 amazing years at Children's Garden Nursery School. It's such a safe and nurturing environment for the children, and offers a real sense of community. The director, teachers and support staff truly love and excel at early childhood education and they really tailor their approach to support and grow the children into kind, respectful, curious and happy individuals. I couldn't have asked for a better start to my child's educational experience and feel very lucky.

Every time I visit Kohai I am moved by what a great relationship there are between the teachers and these kids with autism spectrum disorder. I have heard great stories from many of the parents of these kids about how much their family has changed because of Kohai.
