Private Schools

There is lots of bullying going on. I addressed this with the teachers, principal and finally the superintendent. It appears that I speak a different language than the Superintendent, Tom Jordan, as he has perverted everything I have said to him while asking him to intervene at the school level. He spent more time deflecting, protecting and altering statements rather than providing me with what I asked, their written policy on bullying. The curriculum is barely acceptable, all poor photocopies of textbooks with little to no direction. The bulk of the work needs to be accomplished at home. This is my son's last year at St. Jude. People say that it was a great school that has gone way downhill. A look at the Fraser Institute's' Elementary and secondary school rankings you'll see that they have fallen well below normal. In fact they are ranked 2044th out of 2900 schools in Ontario.

Fantastic school. Small class sizes and caring staff

I am a student at this school. I personally really love this school as the teachers are very knowledgeable on their subjects. I also do not like school in general, however I do quite like this school. The school has a very good learning environment and has very good teachers.

Not the best elementary school in area

Too crowded, and actually smaller inside than it looks.

my girlfriend goes here so 5 stars from me

I brought my daughter to this learning centre for the summer. She really enjoyed it.

Wonderful, welcoming and friendly staff, very supportive

Our daughter started with Mindwerx a few months ago. In that short time, we have been incredibly happy with what we have seen. We receive personalized report cards every day. The caregivers are wonderful and warm. The activities sound very interesting and the menu is certainly better than what I serve at home (apparently our daughter eats fish!). From my first introduction during the tour with Steve, I was impressed by the cleanliness and by the facilities. It is clear that everyone who works there love their job and the kids who are there. There are also regular e-mail communications from Deborah and other administrative staff. We have seen significant progress in our daughter - her vocabulary has expanded and she learned to eat with a spoon! She also participated in a field trip that my husband also attended which was well organized and lots of fun for everyone. I would not hesitate to recommend Mindwerx. It is a friendly neighbourhood daycare where each child is valued and appreciated.

Excellent tutoring service for children of all ages and abilities in all subjects. Personal attention given by caring tutors to all children to give them a good foundation and to build their confidence and self esteem.

Coming back next year!

I enjoyed myself as a child at this institution. The location is conducive to a positive atmosphere. I feel that the Montessori Method really does empower students to become critical thinkers and engage in the transformative educational process.
