SPSON like many school has its up and down. Don't count it out. I have been accepted at two…read moreProminent colleges and decided to try SP and I do not regret this decision. I must say it was not always smooth sailing, but no place is perfect. My professors held me accountable for doing my part, they are smart, dedicated and approachable. I have put in the work that my professors set out for me, as every student should, and accomplished what I set out to do. See for yourself, and remember this is a school that is preparing you to have a professional career, think critically and make wise choices In life, if this is not your goal then, this is not the school for you. Nursing is a vocation, it's not a walk in the park. With self discipline, hard work and perseverance you can have your degree at St. Paul's School of Nursing In several months.

As a current student, I feel it's important to share some concerns about the way this school treats…read moreits students. Recently, we received an email stating that students are not permitted to enter classrooms before the scheduled class time so that instructors can "prepare the learning environment." However, in reality, many professors arrive exactly at the start time or even after class is supposed to begin. Meanwhile, students are expected to stand in hallways or find somewhere else to go even when we arrive early after work to study. The only alternative spaces are the library or cafeteria, both of which have very limited seating. It feels unreasonable to pay out of pocket for an education and not even be allowed to sit in an empty classroom while waiting. We then received another email about elevator use, which is understandable for accessibility reasons. However, the message stated that misuse could result in parent/guardian contact. This is a school of adults, and many of us are parents ourselves. Including language like that clearly shows how little the administration thinks of its students and reinforces the feeling that we are treated like children rather than responsible adults paying for a professional education. Another major concern is the lack of respect and support from some faculty members. For example, Professor Jayne Kier is extremely unapproachable. Students feel uncomfortable asking questions because responses are often sarcastic, dismissive, or met with long, intimidating stares. There is little guidance provided, yet students are made to feel as though they are wrong for seeking help. This creates a stressful and discouraging learning environment. Lastly, it often feels like students cannot safely voice concerns. When issues are brought up to administration, they are dismissed as complaints rather than taken seriously even though many of us are committed, adult learners who care deeply about our education and future careers. It is incredibly disappointing to be treated this way as paying adult students. We invest our time, energy, and money into this program, yet we are treated as if we are receiving a free service and should simply accept it without question. The tone and treatment are not only disrespectful, they are humiliating.

Being a parent and former student, I think I can give a fairly honest review…read more Most kids hate going to school. Having to go on a Sunday morning from 9:30-12:30 really makes it worse. If the person attending doesn't want to be there, it's hard to educate teach them about anything in 3 hours a week. Sure, if the parents work with them at home, it improves the learning curve. There are families there who aren't even Chinese and do what it takes for the child to master the language. For example, a little Mexican boy learned to speak beautiful Mandarin from attending Ming Yuan but he also had a private tutor working with him. Most importantly, HE wanted to learn AND the parents enabled it. You can drag a horse to water but you can't force it to drink. Same with reluctant children. I enrolled for a few years .. at first I sat with children in their regular classes, then they started an adult class. Unfortunately, not enough adults committed to going on Sundays so that fell apart. Some adults continued in the children's classes but I decided to take a break and just learn from my son's homework assignments. If your child does well on a test, it's because the teacher spends an hour reviewing almost everything on the test so the students can do well and advance to the next level. I held some of my children back so that they would have a solid foundation going forward. What's the point of learning new stuff when you don't even know the basics? If you want your child to learn how to speak, read, and write Mandarin (no longer offers Cantonese classes), don't expect much if the kid is unwilling to pay attention and learn. If your child wants to learn, then this is a really cheap option. Some parents just send their kids so they can have 3 hours to go grocery shopping time.

I had my 6 years old kid in the after school program. I'm very disappointed on the way they manage…read morethe program. Every day complaining about my child. They are completely neglecting the kids. They don't know if the kid get out of the classroom neither check their backpacks to see if there's a homework. Mind you is a 6 years old kid. They spect the kids to be like a mummy, not moving. Stay away of this place for the sanity of the kids.
