Greenwood College School

” This school has teachers that are truly passionate about education and preparing students for post-secondary/life after graduation. I looked forward to going to this school for six years. I have since graduated, and I cannot thank the teachers and admin here enough for helping me get to where I am today. When you walk through the front doors, you feel at home. The atmosphere here is so warm and welcoming. The grade 12s here are kind of like older siblings to the younger students. I have so many wonderful things to say about this amazing school, but I’m going to keep this review as short as possible. The cookies here are awesome! “

” More like a family than a business. Lots of evidence of conscious care and humanity. The teachers have been excellent. Communication between the teachers / Advisers and us, parents have been good. High level of effort to integrate traditional education, community engagement, and outdoor education. When we were looking for a school for my eldest, I asked them what they are trying to do for my child. They said they are trying to develop confident young people. They have been a significant partner in that successful goal. When my middle daughter was trying to decide between two offers, she told me that one school, she felt expected her to be successful and Greenwood wanted to help her be successful … that would be a very succinct real outcome. “

” Extremely happy with Greenwood College School for my three kids! All of my kids have very different learning styles and interests and all have been supported and appropriately challenged. The Advisor program is one of the biggest assets to the school along with teachers who genuinely care about the success of the students. Although the school does not have an athletic field, they make terrific use of city fields, arenas, pools and trails to access great training and competitions. Greenwood College School is a school with fantastic academics, interesting clubs, art programs and amazing sense of community. “

” Greenwood College School delivers a fantastic personal and academic experience. Since starting at the school, my child has enjoyed going in each day. From the start, the classes, staff, student and parent community have been supportive and welcoming. (Staff and student leaders still greet students as they arrive each morning!) I truly feel my child is known and valued by teachers and staff. Curriculum can be personalized to match the needs and interests of students and each student has an advisor who helps them reach their potential by discussing goals and encouraging them to try new things regularly. An all round great experience! “

” My son and daughter currently attend Greenwood and have had an amazing experience since arriving in grade 7. Their teachers have been caring and attentive and it is always apparent in parent-teacher interviews how well they know my children. We were particularly pleased with how the teachers and administration navigated covid (and continue to) and virtual learning. Diligent, thoughtful, adaptive. Our kids really enjoy the opportunities for outdoor education (2 trips per year) and will be so happy for that to resume in June. Lots of options for sports, arts, clubs, and leadership opportunities. “
