[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two friends who sent their kids there and both have negative things to say about it. [/quote]

Expand please.[/quote]

Both of them felt that their kids were unprepared and behind when they moved to a private. Also some complaints about facilities and class size. [/quote]

The class sizes are traditional Montessori class sizes -  about 22-25 per class with 2 teachers.  As for being prepared, I guess each kid is different.  I am aware of more than one instance where a child left after primary to go to their local public only to come back for elementary because they were bored elsewhere.  The school does place kids in many private, a number going to Burgundy, though many also opting for their neighborhood schools .  That being the case, while I think the academics are very strong, I imagine it is very tough to go from an environment where kids do work on rugs, couches or under desks where they install lights to make nooks to having to sit still at a desk -- so that would make sense.  The facilities were just renovated but PE does require they go to another gym for the older kids so that's a minus.

It's a very open community, so ask to go do an observation and while you are there, just grab a parent (there will be many around) and ask their views. Good luck! [/quote]
