[quote=Anonymous]Our family will NOT be returning to Fairfax Collegiate. They don’t seem to employ elementary or even middle school teachers with experience or who enjoy working with young children and they don’t do a good job meeting their needs.  My kids have gotten little or nothing from these classes. At least some  locations don’t allow kids to use the playgrounds during break. They watch movies like Minions instead of having the kids play with each other or interact.

My children took 3 classes at Fairfax Collegiate this summer (2018) and took classes last year too.  The physics “instructor” and— I hestitate to use the word teacher — was himself a student—not a teacher.  He was blatantly sexist and mostly only called on the boys, even after several moms of girls complained.  While I don’t doubt he knew much about physics, he used only college-levels words and concepts over the heads of all the children, despite this supposedly being a class for rising 4th/5th graders. Half the class quit during the 2-week class.

I could go on and on but my children like Ideaventions Science & Engineering daycamps SO MUCH BETTER. They went outside, played outside , and did cool projects and activities. They learned SO much more. [/quote]
