The school helps its students discover their own unique talents and supports them in ways not many other schools do. Students at SMUS are constantly being challenged but still always have time to push themselves to try new things. The boarding community is a tight-knit community, where boarders are able to bond with other fellow boarders through weekend activities or house games. One of the best boarding schools in Canada.

Sadly not wide eyed from the eagerness of learning but from fear. For many it's their first time away from their primary caregiver or it's their first day in a Canadian school or it's their first day away from an unhealthy and unstable home life. Some children wonder what scary and uncertainty awaits them in this big and new home away from home. At the end of their first year these children are vastly different. These children walk straighter and more confident because they finally feel seen, heard and acknowledged for the first time in their short existence. For each child right along with the family is welcomed, embraced and supported. Far too many parents feel all this for the very first time in their lives. This is what awaits you at George Jay elementary if you are willing to let them in. I gave them 4/5 stars simply becasuse they are still working at getting the place more wheelchair accessible not only for students but for their staff as well. It's a start!
