This school charges very high prices for substandard education it's better to send your child to a public school for free.

Braemar College - Building Braemar College

Braemar College

Downtown Core

Braemar College is an international high school located at 229 College Street: Toronto's downtown…read morehub. The location is perfect as there are many places to connect within the city. Prominent sites like the University of Toronto (St. George Campus), CF Eaton Centre, Financial District, Chinatown are within the College streets. The building consists of 5 floors: Toose art store (1st floor), UofT Student Services (2nd floor), Braemar College (3rd to 5th). My decision to transfer from a public Canadian secondary school to Braemar was a game-changer. The College does as much as it can to support you and make sure that you succeed in the short and long term. Both principals, Mrs. Lemieux and Ms. Schumacher are some of the kindest, warmest, inspirational leaders I've ever met. They always helped me strive my best through my academic growth, and I'm grateful that the College has such an inspiring administration. Educationally, the College offers the proper grounds for an ideal academic growth (mainly in social and geographic sciences). Unlike other institutions, the College follows a four-term system (five for summer school). Each term consists of 2 months and a half, and alumni can take up to 3 courses per day. Each class lasts around 3 hours as it is designed as a core course. I strongly advise any student looking to enroll at the College to get further information regarding the available courses, teachers available per field, teachers ratings from students, and the average number of students per the desired course (specifically Biology, Chemistry, Physics). Further, make sure that the courses you are enrolling in are available in the selected term. I had the honour to have met some of the most inspiring instructors from all around the globe. They will always look for your wellbeing and help you to achieve your needs. Regarding facilities, the College does not count with a physical science laboratory but a digital lab for STEM courses. The school does not have a gymnasium. Instead, students will go to Kensington Community School Jr. to use the sports court. Clubs and student organizations occasionally shift within terms (make sure to contact the Activities Director and lead groups for further details). There is no specific place to eat as the College does not have a cafeteria, and the rooms serve as classrooms, IT rooms, and performing arts rooms. Luckily, there is a wide range of local and international restaurants and cafés. Regarding housing, the College does not count with private dorms. Instead, there's a privately-owned residence called Campus One, which many alumni commonly rely on. If you would like to live with a local family (commonly referred to as homestay), please be aware that most of them are situated within a 25km-35km radius from the College (typically in North York, Scarborough, Toronto West End). I would recommend living in the downtown core as it is more comfortable and accessible to commute within the College and the city. In my experience, Braemar College offers excellent opportunities and connections globally, and it will depend on you on how to use most of your time. Take advantage of the great options, learning experiences (in and out of the College) to enrich your desired goals and experience a globally connected city. The choice is yours to make

I did grade 12th in Braemar College and I found it really special. I had friends around the world…read more The teachers were really nice, they help you whenever you need. The school is really close from University of Toronto, so you can cross the street and experiment other style of life. The location of the school is perfect because you are near from museums, parks and turistic places. The coolest thing is that in last year of highschool you can choose an enphasis. So its perfect if you want to focus right now in your career.

Someone by name of Zahra called me in Feb 2021 for Mathematics (highschool) teacher during this…read moreCOVID environment. I applied knowing job posting said: $25/hour and 26.25 hours per week. She asked: - Are you currently teaching? - Can you teach high school math? (I have a Math degree and told her I can do it as I have tutored high school students for Math before) - Job will start Mon next week, training for 1.5 hour in weekend, are you ok? - The comp is $25/hour, are you ok? (which is what the job posting said). Then I asked how many hours to confirm? She responded that there are three periods to teach, and I can calculate how many hours per week that would be (she would not tell me the total hour count for some reason). So I calculated myself on the spot. I calculated and it came up to about 17.5hrs/week. I said to her that on the website it said closer to 27 hours. She could not answer this question. So I asked her what about salary for assessments, marking, preparing etc.? She said they don't pay for that and as for preparation they have a binder ready to be followed. So I asked how do you assess students then? She laughed and said I should know how to do that. I asked her she should tell me how her school is doing it during COVID, is it traditional marking or automated -- because both take time to setup and prepare? I have experience in both types of assessments. She said that binder (with lesson plans) will need to be tweaked just a bit. I understood that she is not answering my question of paying for the additional work (the last school I worked at paid me for 37.5 hours). And as I was about to tell her I am not interested, she herself said this conversation is confrontational and does not want to go ahead, and without waiting for a response from me, immediately hangs up the phone. I am not sure how is negotiating for wages and hours confrontational? I have my self-respect and I know my worth. Thanks to Allah. The market rate for high school mathematics tutors is well above $25/hour on a full-time basis--let alone part-time. The only reason I applied to this job at $25/hour salary is because I was available and my previous contract had ended. In a nutshell, beware of this school's job postings because their job postings could have false information on them. They tried to lure me to apply with higher number of hours on the job posting, but said much lower amount in the phone screen. If you want to work there, always confirm your contract details even if Zahra is speeding up the interview process. You want to make sure you get paid for your work.

This is a terrible school. Unprofessional, absurd, ridiculous. Last week I was "hired" for a…read morefull-time teaching position. After serving notice to my other employers, I showed up ready to start on the appointed day. The powers-that-be kept me waiting in their lobby without chairs for over 30 minutes. I was then escorted up to the VP/HR director's office and was informed they were still "ironing" things out. That evening, I got a call at home saying there was no work available. No explanations whatsoever. This, as I already mentioned, was AFTER I quit working at my other jobs. Nice eh? If they're pulling this kind of crap with the teachers, just imagine the students. Stay away. Seriously. And for anyone about to be hired by these unprofessional lunatics, make sure you get a contract in WRITING. (also: Zahra - the VP/HR person may seem nice, but most two-faced flakes usually do).
