Astolot Education Centre

” My daughter attended school from the beginning of grade 1 until her graduation from high school. During these 12 years of schooling, she was tremendously supported by the committed staff of Astolot, who worked together with her, her family, and all therapists involved in her day-to-day activities. She is CHEO’s most successful case, and she could only have accomplished this with an environment and all the support she received along the way. There were challenging moments (her father’s death), problems, joys, and happy days like in every life, but we worked as a team, and we felt like Astolot was a family to all of us and always supportive and committed to help. My daughter grew up to be a wonderful young woman who respects others, has amazing organizational skills, learns independently, and can live life fully with self-esteem. The decision to enroll our daughter at Astolot, under the leadership of Jennifer Cowan(owner) and Andrew Stewart ( principal), was the best decision we ever made. Their guidance and the school’s supportive environment have played a significant role in our daughter’s development. “

” The review I wrote last Thursday disappeared somehow so I’m rewriting a review. Astolot is a great school and has a wonderful environment. I started at Astolot in grade 3 at the age of 8. I was at Astolot from grade 3 until grade 12. When I started at Astolot I was very shy and barely talked to anyone. The main people I spoke to for my first few months at Astolot were Jennifer (school principal) and Katie (teacher). The teachers and Jennifer at Astolot are very kind and know how to teach students. Astolot does well with teaching students who have a hard time learning in a big class or have a learning disability. In my previous school before Astolot I was in a big class with at least 20 students and was bullied badly. Often when I got bullied at my previous school it wouldn’t get resolved. When I started at Astolot I saw that bullying gets delt with and resolved. I like how Astolot has small class sizes. Teachers have a easier time teaching because of the small class sizes. Throughout my years at Astolot as a student I learned many things and did well learning in class and got along with my classmates and teachers. At the moment I’m at Algonquin College. Astolot really helped me when I was applying to Algonquin and post secondary school. Thanks to Astolot I am doing very well at Algonquin and it’s been great. I am very glad that I was at Astolot for all of secondary school and most of primary school. SL Astolot Alumni 2022 “

” I have met and been inspired by all of the staff and students here at Astolot. Coming from a public school setting with more aggressive students, Jennifer has provided a safe environment for both staff and students. Her approach has helped so many students become more confident and excel in their environments. Its been a pleasure to be at Astolot. “

” I went to Astolot for 5 years it was a really great experience the teachers were amazing and really helped me overcoming challenges with learning. I had a lot of great experiences and made several friends. The small class sizes are great as it allows teachers to help you personally. Overall a great school and I am glad I attended. “

” I’ve been at this school for 2 years so far. It’s been GREAT! The school helpt me so much in my learning. The teachers are really nice same as the students. The principal Jennifer is really nice, she cares for her students at the school, ALOT! “
