[quote=Anonymous]We were brand new to the area when we needed to get DD quickly enrolled. We were not happy with the public school DD would have attended after a visit, so we looked at area private schools (unexpectedly for us). We didn't know about/care about "BIG 3".

- Barrie had a great campus and warm staff, but the cost was excessive and we felt the academic rigor was lacking after discussing how different learners were managed and advanced throughout their time at school
- SSFS also had a great campus and warm staff. The cost and commute were really difficult factors as it seemed like a lovely school and staff and administrators were great and welcoming
- Holy Cross K-8 was a disappointment. Administration seemed inflexible and uninterested in DD. Teachers didn't seem friendly.
- Brookewood Catholic we hoped would be a fit, but was too religiously conservative to be a match for us. Administration seemed inflexible and uninterested in DD. (We ruled out Catholic schools because they just weren't a match).[/quote]
