Olive Grove School

” Worst experience ever! Staff were so racist especially toward kids that their parents didn’t donate big numbers! Teachers and administrators never accepted any single comment neither advice! Even Islamic curriculum was full of mistakes! I’m lucky I pull my kids out years ago Hamdulilah to better Islamic environment “

” Ive been to several Islamic schools in many different countries and let’s just say olive grove is the goal they are all trying to achieve. Genuinely the best school, focuses on high quality education, Islamic foundation and principles, strength, leadership and character development, prepares you for your future, and offers a wonderful experience. The students are mostly all so nice and great people to be friends (atleast my grade was). I wish there could be an olive grove in every city of every country so I don’t have to worry about where to put my kids no matter where I end up living. For all the people complaining about price, they are not money hungry at all and are actually very gencine,kind hearted people, in the end this is a school and a school needs a lot of money to run, and they are spending in the right ways. Unfortunately it is expensive, but the school has to run off of something. I learned such important core values in this school that have stuck with me and been carried through the rest of my life until now allhamdulilah, such as the importance of honesty, leadership cooperation, diversity, and the concept of one ummah. Of course sending your kids to any school doesn’t take away the role of parenting, but from the teachers I know, I’d feel relaxed having my kids with them. I love this school and have so much good things to say about it allahuma barik. I really wish more people can have an experience like olive grieve in different places in the world. The principle Mr.Bakbak is a very good honest man and a great leader and role model for the community mashallah, may Allah protect him and protect and preserve this school and the Muslim community it has formed. I have so much more to say, but this is long enough as it is. Inshallah the waiting list problem gets solved and they are able to expand because that really isn’t something within their control to give a bad review for, each class has a capacity and so does a building in the end. May Allah make it easy for everyone trying to enroll and put baraka 🤍 “

” Most of the bad reviews here from parents who’s kids dont actually attend the school, just general bashing because they couldnt get admission or jealous their kids dont go here, both my kids go here Alhamdullilah and we are very satisfied with their learning both from Ontario curriculum standpoint and Islamic learning wise. My son has already memorized many surahs of the Quran last para and is learning core Islamic values as well. Will highly recommend. Note to new parents, get on the waitlist for preschool the day your child is born so you’re aware of actual chances of getting in . “

” I have had my kids on the wait list for two years for Olive Grove. When we got on the waitlist we were told that the wait would be for eight years. Recently I found out that some other kids who got on the wait list just around or after we got on the wait list have already been offered admission and have starred studying here. The reason we wanted our kids to study here was the perception of this being an Islamic School. That was supposed to imply fair dealing, honest treatment and rule of merit or first come first serve basis at the least. Unfortunately our expectations and experience have not given us any confidence in this regard. On the contrary it seems contacts andaybe something else is what it takes for the kids to get admitted here. When an institute compromises or sacrifices it’s core values, it no longer remains an institute of learning or of any value. This is rather unfortunate as parents who keep getting their kids to come here so not at the moment realize that their kids will come out in a few years against their expectations. I would suggest that the parents work on their kids at home rather than relying on this fraudulent institute. “

” To start off I definitely do not recommend this school It is bused, waste of money, and is limiting. Only stupid kids go here. I have classmates who yell in class, meow, don’t stop talking. A specific girl asks the teacher inappropriate questions, spins around on her chair with her arms in the air, lies down in front of the class in the middle of the class, makes rude comments but the teachers don’t do anything about it. Teaches control the wrong things and wrong students. They care too much about irrelevant things but can’t fix things right in front of their eyes. All we want is a bare school experience. Olive grove is not an Islamic school it’s a private school for Muslim kids. Ms toor cares too much about uniform but nothing else. A girl wasn’t wearing the dress shirt under her hoodie (it doesn’t even show) and a teacher pulled down her hoodie and showed her undershirt in front of the whole class (it was a mixed class) Ms toor will send students home, get their parents to pick them up from school or drop off uniform if they’re wearing the wrong thing as if parents don’t have their own lives and work to go to.There is no privacy for students. Teachers can see Chromebook screens, read chats and they ask girls who are clearly at the back if they’re ACTUALLY not praying. Grade 12s and grade 6s have the same Chromebook curfew at 10pm. The wifi doesn’t work even though tuition is more than my organs. Ogs is money hungry and really do not care for the well being of their students, they only care about their name and how they look. They cause burn out for the students and over work loads making students to not do well and get blamed for their underperformance when the teachers can’t even teach properly either. Olive grove high school students do not get a choice to pick their electives because ogs does not have proper facilities, limiting students to teach their full potential. Also they blocked kammi. Main point, do better ogs. “
