Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School

Agree with many negative comments after 3 years experience as parents with this school. This school needs to review its leadership by an independent organization. This is an extremely money driven school and you might not get a real feedback about your child. Nice people working as teachers and staff but heavily influenced by the poor leadership. There are definitely potentials to get better in future, if they fix the poor leadership.

We feel very fortunate to belong to this amazing school community. The academics, music, enrichment and athletics programming are outstanding. All faculty and staff go above and beyond for each and every student. Aberdeen Hall is a very welcoming and positive environment and we highly recommend this school.

Both our daughters have attended Aberdeen Hall (one graduated last year and one is enrolled in Gr 11) we love the sense of community, amazing teachers and student support along with the smaller class sizes. The guidance for post secondary education is excellent. We are fortunate to have a school like Aberdeen Hall in our community.

Aberdeen Hall is one of the most impressive schools I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Every detail is so well thought out, the setting is breathtaking, the atmosphere is alive with intellectual energy and it is immediately obvious that the students are being prepared for brilliant futures. The staff are all so kind and helpful, and the headmaster is an absolute pleasure to deal with!

My daughter will be finishing her first year at Aberdeen and we are very happy with her decision. The staff and management have been very accommodating and informative especially during COVID. The teachers are amazing and take pride in their work and it shows! My daughter loves attending and I definitely believe Aberdeen will help her achieve a bright future.

As an international student, I really appreciate every teacher and student at Aberdeen Hall. The learning experience here is amazing. The class atmosphere is always embracing. Teachers help students to engage in lessons. The courses here covers a wide range of selections and all teachers assist students to be well-prepared for a bright future.

We love Aberdeen Hall. I'm motivated to write because I notice some comments on here that are really contrary to our experience so I want to provide an alternate point of view. My child has been here for 3 years now and the academic and social experience has been exceptional. The teachers and staff are really great at their jobs, we have continually been impressed. The music, French, and athletics programming are advanced compared to other schools in Kelowna. My child learned violin this year and loves it! And the after school care program is a necessity for working families. There have been comments about the poor school leadership or favoritism to families who donate. We have never donated to the school, we are a couple who works full time and don't provide additional funds to the school and have not experienced any sort of issues related to that. There is not a culture of families who donate get special treatment, I would be hard pressed to tell you who donates anything to the school. The Junior School has exceptional leadership and I feel that even the leadership knows my child really well and is an advocate for wellbeing.

I rate Aberdeen Hall a whopping 5 stars, because the community and environment is encouraging, kind, and supportive. I am a current and new student, and I have been welcomed into the community and treated with respect. The teachers are engaging and supportive, and will do their best to make sure every student has complete understanding. The facility is well designed, has a great view at lunch, and is overlooking rolling hills and sometimes even hot air balloons! Any event that is put on either during school or after school has great management, is well put together, and overall super fun. The sports teams are great, and they go on trips to games every so often. I find the P.E. class to be better than any other physical education I have attended, and has many different units on a ton of sports. The electives that I have been to are a very good use of time, and makes your day even more fun and exciting! The clubs at Aberdeen are also super cool, and every one that I have attended so far is awesome! There is a homeroom class in the morning and at the end of the day, so you get to connect with your Advisory teacher and get organized for during school and after school. Overall, Aberdeen Hall is an amazing school that suites my needs, and I already feel like a part of the super supportive community.
