This school was absolutely horrible. Finch was genuinely so bad that school girls were being…read moretouched by other boys and when reported they wouldn't get in any trouble, students would report bullying and not much would happen about it. The staff is so rude, I dreaded going to school everyday because of the teachers and administrators, I'd have an overwhelming pit in my stomach every morning, this school seriously needs to get checked out, the bullying I had to endure was ridiculous and when I'd finally bring it up they would shrug me off. This school is not safe too people would bring drugs and weapons like cans all the time so if you're thinking about putting your kid in this school, don't!!!

this school is UTTERLY not the best. No joke the kids at school are SOOO mean coming from a student…read morewho goes here. The principals dont do anything really like their punishments are really bad, There was a kid who quite LITERALLY got hatecrimed and that could get you expelled in some places, and yeah the kid got a suspension and had to deal with paying for new recourses for the kid who had that happened to, but a TEACHER had to set that up not the principal. Another example, in 2025 there was this kid who would GROPE other kids specifically girls butts and sometimes BOOBS and he got let off with a warning. Se kids even bring weapons to school. The only reason why my review isnt FULLY a one star review is cause the teachers are nice. Ms May, she's a junior high teacher is the sweetest person ever, Ms Jay is pretty cool too, same with Ms Wallace, Ms Irvine, Mr Arsenault, Mr Lazarick, Mr Mclofflin basically everyone up in junior high is super friendly. but I wouldn't recommend going here PERSONALLY, but come at your own risk. Coming from a student.

Well this review may not be so relevant as it goes back to 1969 to 1972. I was there for just three…read moreyears, grade 4, 5 and 6. In those three years however; was fortunate to have maybe the worlds greatest teachers. All of them were excellent. Of course teaching in those days, was a lot different than teaching today. But, I had teachers who gave so much of themselves and each day was an experience in sharing a personal bonding relationship, that is almost not seen any more. All three of my teachers where outstanding, sober and wonderful people - first; then great teachers second. Glengarry was all about the power of the relationships, and the staff extending their hearts to us! Memories of that school will go with me to the very end. Thank you.

Okay, I'm not blood-related to any of the kids who attend the Cogito Program at Mount Pleasant…read moreElementary. But I used to work at the after-school care here, and saw what the kids are like after a hard day of Cogito. Cogito is a special academic program that uses explicit phonetics and repetition strategy to get the material into the kids' heads. They have regular homework everyday, and often the kids would do their homework in the daycare before their parents picked them up. I don't know about you, but I was never that diligent when I was seven years old. While I'll admit the program works, because these are some of the smartest kids I've ever seen, it does take a toll on them. The poor children are probably mentally exhausted, and want nothing more than to unleash all their pent-up energy from the whole day. Unfortunately right after school hours, when they're with the daycare staff! I think it's important to remember that all kids learn differently, so while Cogito may work wonders for some, it may not be the greatest for other kids, especially the ones who need to learn through hands-on activity. On that note, I will add that it's great for getting kids to read early. There's nothing like a five-year-old teaching you the difference between the "a" and "ai" phonemes!

If you are looking for a school in the Londonderry/McLeod area it is well worth a look.

I walk by this beautiful downtown Catholic elementary school often and have always been intrigued…read moreby its portable sign outside, which often displays messages not just in English and French, but also in Spanish. Turns out they provide not only a French Immersion program but a Spanish bilingual program as well - the only one of its kind in the country - to approximately 430 students from kindergarten to grade 6. But being childless - and intending to remain so - it's the building itself that interests me moreso than its current educational offerings. There have been some additions over the years, such as a gym, assembly hall and extra classrooms, but the main building, a lovely brick structure, has been operational since 1915. This neighborhood was once the centre of a thriving French Catholic community but its presence has been reduced to just the school, nearby Eglise Catholique St. Joachim and its rectory, and various place-names that pay tribute to th area's history. The school, like many other institutions around Alberta and beyond, is named for Bishop Vital-Justin Grandin, a pioneer Oblate missionary from France who became bishop of St. Albert in 1871 and passed away in 1902.
