Schools

Private schools are a great option for many students. In Canada, they meet the same regulatory requirements as public schools, but offer additional services and resources to students. Many private schools have state-of-the-art facilities, individualized teaching approaches (maximum of 12 students per class in many schools), diverse academic programming, near-perfect post-secondary education placement rates, and stellar satisfaction rates from both students and their parents.
