They have weekly outings to programs like the High Park Nature Centre, rock climbing, martial arts, etc. They will also have the opportunity to go on a camping trip at the end of the year and be part of the Model UN in New York.

Unfortunately the last couple years in the school were not so pleasant. She was bullied, and originally the administration was very helpful.

When I came here many years ago, I have to say I wasn't as pleased with the school as I am today…read more The school over the last 10 years has really evolved and marked itself as a unique private school for girls. It's differentiated itself by establishing the IB diploma, which is by far superior to the OSSD that you would get at other schools. I wish I had that opportunity and always was jealous at my UCC counterparts that they had it. By nature of this diploma is forces the girls to become leaders in their own right. The discipline, application and thoughfulness required to complete the courses inherently help develop the mind to think a certain way, and require the girls to be motivated in a certain way. And there's something to be said about the type of people that the girls would befriend and their relationships in the future. Thinking of sending your daughter here? I would. But then there's the debate between public vs. private school and when is the right time.

Mon avis aussi sur le Lycée Francais de Toronto LFT... au vu des frais, j'ai trouvé que le rapport…read morequalité/prix n'était pas au niveau attendu, surtout en termes d'installations, de vie scolaire (sports/clubs) et de stabilité. Niveau "cadre de vie": Au collège/lycée les cours sont a 90% dans le sous-sol (les classes à l'étage étant pour la junior school), bâtiments vieillissants, installations minimalistes. Le vrai sujet, au-delà des murs fatigués et du côté très "rustique" du campus, c'est la direction. Sur le papier : sourires, politesse, communication maîtrisée, photo LinkedIn impeccable, grands discours sur "l'excellence"... Dans la réalité... (je vous laisse faire votre prope avis.) Beaucoup d'enfants d'expats y sont parce que "système français = valeur sûre". Sauf qu'en pratique, sans en faire une généralité, on voit très souvent les groupes se former naturellement : les enfants francophones restent entre francophones, les anglophones entre anglophones... et plus ils grandissent, plus c'est vrai. Et côté anglais, la progression n'a rien de magique. Si votre objectif est une vraie immersion canadienne, une école anglophone fera souvent beaucoup mieux : les enfants s'adaptent vite, et leur anglais décolle réellement. Et puis il y a le reste. J'ai été confronté à une situation sérieuse au sein de l'établissement, et la façon dont elle a été gérée a été, pour moi, un énorme signal d'alarme. Je ne détaillerai pas ici, mais ça résume assez bien le problème de fond et l'ambiance générale. Cette école a besoin d'une nouvelle direction, et vite. Le seul vrai point positif, selon moi = L'asso des parents d'élèves. Franchement, heureusement qu'ils sont là : événements, initiatives, soutien... ils compensent énormément de choses. Bref : d'après moi rapport qualité/prix pas a la hauteur. Si vous cherchez une école privée avec une vraie valeur ajoutée (bonne direction, installations, stabilité, encadrement cohérent), vous trouverez mieux ailleurs. Et si vous cherchez une expérience canadienne authentique + progression en anglais : choisissez une école anglophone.

This school is quite possibly one of the worst you could find, especially it being a private…read moreschool. From the uncaring staff to the decaying building and clear lack of organization skills, this school is truly not a good choice. The staff do not care about the children and some of them make it quite clear that they hate the students, not to mention how some of them are inappropriately involved with minors, mixing themselves with parties thrown by the higher grades, or look at the students in a sexual manner, and that's just talking about the "education aids" who are meant to take care of the children during their breaks. The people who actually run the school vary from egocentric to absolutely a horrible choice to work with children, often mixing both. The school's "anti bullying policy" is a lie, considering that they do not do anything about actual bullies and do not keep anything students who are forced to confide in them about their mental health private, as they told the students they would. They actually seem to be quite comfortable in lying, considering they lie on open doors days to families visiting about the building to make the school seem more appealing. It is doubtful if the people in charge have any sense of shame, considering they make no efforts to listen to valid questions or requests from both parents and students, lie often times and perform clear favoritism for french or rich people, holding them up with more appreciation when considering who to let study in there, and performing clear favoritism between the class of students who paid more and less when the international section was more expensive. The school has many gaps in the schedule or difficulty organizing and they removed the extra languages years ago, under the pretext of having "not enough money", despite the building being falling apart and the tuition fees being extremely high and rising.The school is also not accessible for kids with disabilities, whether mental or physical, and is not a better choice compared to other French schools in Toronto , considering they have nothing that sets them apart positively, but do in a negative way.

They had an vested interest in our success and instilled a sense of hard work and fun into our education. When our son was to start JK this past year we looked at a number of public and private schools to find something that mirrored our experience. We were very lucky to have stumbled upon Olivet. The sense of community, strong emphasis on being a good kind person, small class size and importance placed on outdoor learning had our attention. We went for a tour and were welcomed with open arms. In a city like Toronto and the large class sizes in our public schools with so much attention in "checking" boxes and treating all children the same we were very happy and impressed with the culture and principles practised at Olivet. I strongly encourage any family contemplating an alternative to public school to invest the time to tour Olivet. We are very happy with our decision and our daughter will be attending once it is her turn.

I am a student in grade 12 currently attending this school. The honest truth about this school is…read moreit is EXCELLENT for academics. You/your child will be attending one of the best schools academically in Toronto, but you/your child will have absolutely no social life. I came here from a very large public school and let me tell you my social life, now, is a crap shoot. There are no friend groups, and no one gets along well. Constant unnecessary drama and students do not get along well at all. Also prepare for your child to be spoiled for life because the clientele that can afford a $30,000 a year school are the wealthiest in Toronto. Lastly the school has no sports, school spirit, student life, and the "committees and clubs" are a joke. Nothing is taken seriously by the students except for academics, and the teachers and administration promote a miserable environment by only focusing on academics. If you want your child to be extremely bright but likely a nerd without a social life who spends his days at home either studying or playing video games then this is the school for you. If you want a well rounded happy child who balances his school and social life than this is definitely not the school for you. My personal opinion is to NOT send your child here.
