Wonderful school! They have wise rules, competent teachers, and everyone is friendly.

In all my life (8 schools across America), this is the one I least liked. But the bad part of this review is not about the education of the school, which is very good. You get in there work hard and CEGEP will be a breeze as will university. The bad part is about the environment and general feel of the institution. Rules are strict and sometimes unnecessary, so I felt that my liberty wasn't really there. As an example of that, some grade 11s had to create the yearbook, which mainly consists of getting students quotes and pictures as well as writing the teachers' quotes and the principals were going to look it over to make sure things didn't go out of control (some quotes were quite obscene), but most of those that needed to be changed were unnecessary. And it gets worst in the teachers' ones: a bunch of perfectly good quotes were rejected or changed for no reason! We even asked a teacher about a specific one then told the principals that the teacher was super okay with it and they still refused :( (to keep the school image clean, they said...) Continuing on the subject, the school focuses a lot on their self-image, so take the iPads: when I was in grade 7 (5 years ago) I was told that the reason we couldn't use our phones during breaks and lunch is that we wouldn't socialize, but here we are with grades 7 to 9 on their iPads all day talking less to each other than ever before (a bit hypocrite maybe?). I believe the real reason is that kids on their phones just doesn't look as good as kids on school iPads (next generation education that costs 900$! ?) Another example would be the outdoor pool that is not at all available to students, or even the gym that you require a membership to participate, student or not. But they did improve the"Fabrique Beaubois" (juste google 'Fab Lab' and you'll get an idea), so it's open to students 3 times every week ?? and the greenhouse has finally been built after 3 years it was promised, which is pretty cool, but honestly unnecessary. There still are only a set of bathrooms for the whole school and a half-working set of water fountains, which is honestly disgraceful in this day and age.

Took both my kids OUT of this school. They do the complete opposite of what is needed to have your children flourish into confident individuals. Here are a few examples from many: My daughter was told she was "not good in Math" by her math teacher...yes this is true. My son was intimidated by one of the principals when he was seeking help. She was VERY rude and basically told him to stop smilling. I was present when this actually happened! My son was 9 and is the very shy type. I dont have enough space to express all concerns... the best words to sum it up would be -Very Negative. My kids are not the trouble making type. Now at new schools, their grades are mostly upper 80's. And best of all they are so HAPPY! What a releif for us. I trully recomend to stay away for this establishment.

It’s not the best school but I’ll leave a good review cuz of the fabrique beaubois
