This is an amazing school. I wish my daughter could stay here forever!…read moreMy daughter has disabilities and the staff have been so supportive, proactive, and generally wonderful. She is flourishing with the right support and absolutely loves school. There is a large, beautiful "outdoor classroom" with play structures and basically a lovely mini-forest to play in. It is in a lovely, quiet, safe neighbourhood. Enrollment is small, so the teachers and staff know all the kids and parents very well. Lots of field trips, enrichment opportunities and clubs for a variety of interests. I love that they use SeeSaw and Edsby to keep you up to date. Staff is always available and prompt to answer questions and concerns. I literally have nothing negative to say about this school. It is a gem! My only concern is that one day she will have to move on!

My daughter was ignored and not included her in class activities, often left alone. They had a substitute teacher with no experience or patience and had an incident that traumatized my daughter for many years, the substitute teacher sent me a very unprofessional e-mail about a situation that escalated so much that 9 years later still hunts my daughter. New principal planned a meeting were BOTH teachers arrived late almost at the end of the meeting, the incident With the substitute teacher was NEVER addressed. It was the principal, the grade 2 teacher and my husbands idea to change my daughter to a different school, thinking of her well being, and happiness as they realized the damage done. We got her enrolled to attend Buchanan school from grade 2 and her happiness and grades improved within a week. Please do your research before getting your child to this school. Elementary years are so important specially grade 1. Be selective.
