I have daughters age 8 to 28. I have known the school since 1986. Small school with annual variations in class size etc which are smoothed by multi-age classrooms as determined by staff that really know the students. Parents involved in classroom teaching and winter sports. Teachers extend individual and extra help to students at all academic and social levels- extra attention for everyone. Mostly long-term dedicated teachers who are efficient and spend time teaching not administering or disciplining. Terrific "lunch" program with good nutrition emphasized through whole curriculum, some produce coming from school gardens. Great PE, French, music, art- but just look at the scores for the three Rs as well. Well-rounded and comfortable. Close Quote
