    Review Highlights - Shambhala School

    We choose Shambhala School due to their impressive art and music programs, small class sizes, and have been consistently blown away by the school's approach to education.

    I've only ever been to Armbrae for one reason - to play sports in their gymnasium. From having…read moreplayed sports in almost every school gym in the Halifax area, I can honestly say that Armbrae is one of my favorites. Its newly built gymnasium/ multi-purpose centre is phenomenal! It nice and large - about twice the size of an average gym, with exceptionally high ceilings, quality equipment and modern design. The gym is always very clean and well taken care of. The only problem we sometimes experience is when one of our balls land on the 2nd level, as we don't have access to the staircase, but somehow always manage to get them down.

    We are professional working parents, with a kid entering primary grade. We visited Armbrae Academy,…read moreand another private school (Halifax Grammar School), in January 2017. Pros and Cons: Armbrae junior school has a relatively small class size (18 kids), and plan to recruit teacher assistants (8 AM-12 noon) for younger grades starting Sept 2017. They have an afterschool program until 5 30 PM, which is included within the tuition fees. The director of the junior school was enthusiastic and kind but seemed somewhat inexperienced. Both the junior school director and the primary grade teacher have their kids at school, and appeared to have vested interest in making positive changes to the school. They have a large gym but unfortunately both the gym and music room are detached from the main building (need to dress us in winter clothes to walk over there from main building). The senior school does not have and IB program and kids don't do as well in national math competition compared with HGS. Admission Process: The director of the junior school took the time to answer our questions and accompany us on a school tour, but the school did not seem very well prepared for parent visits (e.g. met in hallway on two separate occasions with no private place to talk). Unfortunately, the admission process itself at Armbrae went horribly wrong. We were given false information regarding the admission process / wait list by the junior school director and the headmaster admin assistant. We were told there is a guaranteed spot for our kid if we elect to enroll pending satisfactory evaluation. We were made to go through the whole process of application / kid interview, to be sent a letter by mail later offering us a spot on the wait list as there are actually no spots available. The director of the junior school honestly took responsibility for his own wrong doing in this matter (providing false information, withholding relevant updates, and lack of courtesy to parents), while the headmaster dishonestly tried to fully deflect the blame on more junior members.

    Our family relocated here from the US. From the moment that we inquired about the school via…read moreonline we received a response almost immediately. Within two days they scheduled a video conference and answered all our questions. We were impressed and knew this was the school for our children. When we arrived to the school we felt welcomed and special. Our kids started in November of 2017 and have been able to settle in and love their school. The teachers are all compassionate, caring and dedicated to the students growth and overall success. Through my time of volunteering at the school I have come to know everyone of the teachers and have truly witness the positive impact they have made on my children's lives. Our children are not only getting a quality education but are being discipled for Christ in a Christian environment! We highly recommend the school to all parents! Your children will be blessed and will be impacted! This investment will be everlasting!

    If you are looking for an echo chamber for evangelical Christianity than this the place for you…read more Otherwise it is definitely not. The facility is in bad shape, with a roof leak that has not been fixed, but has been known for years, filthy floors, dirty sinks, bathroom doors that don't lock half the time and a fume hood that has been unable to be used for years. Although mostly friendly, the staff and speakers are often biased in the worst ways. Obsessed with proving the superiority of Christianity, countless speeches against the lgbt community, a paranoia that everyone else is being manipulated by Satan into conspiring to tear down Christianity, and a constant lecturing that everyone is a sinful wreck who deserves to go to Hell. Instead of taking criticism, the school merely sees it as the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies, which means that they're doing a good job.The classes most dripping with Christian bias are mandatory religious studies classes, which there is no way to get out of.
