I had 2 children at this school in the upper elementary program. One 4-6 and the other 6, 7, and…read morethe beginning of grade 8. What started out wonderfully ended terribly. Dawn is an absolutely terrible person, principal and business owner. The well being of the kids means nothing to her compared to the money she makes off them. She's deceptive and an example of that is accepting enrolment and then changing the class dynamics, size and teaching plan without informing parents but she's already been paid so now you're stuck there unless you want to be out the $1300+ a month you've already paid. Her communication is terrible. Her conflict resolution abilities are non existent. And to top it all off her son is a "teacher" there and he has no business doing so. Avoid this "school" at all costs. There are so many better options. Don't be fooled by her shining personality when you meet her. She's a snake in disguise.

This school was dreadful! I had both my children here for a time, and it deteriorated considerably…read moreover the years that they were there. The owner is absolutely horrible to deal with, and has to be one of the most money-motivated, nickel-and-diming people I have ever come across. The staff turnover there is constant, and one look at employee reviews on Indeed will help you understand why. The school is horrible for favouritism and the exclusion of various students. We had various situations that required meetings with the owner and teachers, none of which were ever really resolved; no responsibility on the side of the school was ever taken, and the same problems persisted. The school prides itself on preaching kindness, inclusivity and positivity, but the actions towards the students and some of the staff tell a far different story. The social aspect of the school is a major problem as well, with kids from Gr. 4 to 8 in the same class and working with the same teachers at the same time. Upper grades like 7,8 have very small groups of students in them, and the social environment that children need at that age does not exist whatsoever. The school also makes drastic changes from year to year without informing parents, sometimes leaving them unaware of the makeup of class days before school begins in September. Lastly, the likelihood of ever getting a straight or honest answer from the owner is slim to none. I would NEVER recommend this school to anyone, and my children are far better off mentally, emotionally, and socially in their new schools.
