Sir Frederick Banting International School

” I went to this school through my middle school years of grade 6-8. I heard great things about the school, and it was amazing for the first year, however things quickly went downhill. The teachers, while most certainly providing results and good marks, were extremely strict and downright rude sometimes. The quality of the school itself was decent at FBI, however while I was there, despite being promised a finished gym when we got there, we had to use a spare room on the first floor for 3 months before the gym’s lights were even installed. And this was in 2018-2019, there was no COVID back then so they had no excuses. Finally, the principal himself had a very broken justice system as he had given dozens of ill-tempered and misbehaving children slaps on the wrists whilst I, an A-grade student and one of his “favorites”, was nearly suspended for play-fighting with some friends in a gym room and nobody was even remotely injured. Overall, the school did show results with my marks, improving them drastically, however, I would never ever go back there if I could choose because it was far too strict, the justice systems were morally corrupt, and many, many more reasons I haven’t even gone into here “

” My two children have been with FBI school for the last 2 years and below are some of the reasons why I will be continuing their education with this school: Advanced Academic Curriculum: My son is very much interested in Science and has knowledge beyond his grade level in certain topics. The teachers make time to discuss new topics with him and respond to his questions. My other son had a speech delay and has challenges with the pronunciation of “St” words. The teachers regularly work with him on his reading and help him with his pronunciation. Parental Involvement: The school has frequent parent/teacher meetings to give feedback on the children’s performance. You can walk into the school and the Principal and Vice Principal are always available to resolve any issues you are facing. They are willing to address concerns at any time, including after hours. I am a working mom with twin boys and life can be super busy; my kids were disappointed that they had to stay back after school due to a scheduling conflict I had at work. I casually addressed this concern with the Vice-Principal and she had a chat with my boys. They now have an understanding and appreciation of the situation. At FBI School, your child is prepared for today’s and tomorrow’s world. Students are required to learn grammar, time tables and various other topics that go beyond the provincial curriculum. My boys are in grade 6 and can use Word and PowerPoint at a professional level. They are learning robotics, dance and are given an opportunity to learn a new language. At FBI School, doing your homework is mandatory. The homework is assigned to provide deeper understanding of the lesson. Students are expected complete the homework independently. When the children face challenges, the teachers are always available to help. This assists the teacher to evaluate what their students understand and do not understand in the curriculum. Homework also equips children for the future by teaching them how to organize themselves and to meet deadlines. As a parent, I want my kids to graduate from a good university and to be successful. If children are not used to completing homework and organizing themselves to meet deadlines, they will experience challenges in the future. I am in favor of kids being assigned homework regularly in order to practice and apply what they have learned in the classroom. “

” Even schools and institutes can maintain a professional culture but this school lacks the basic professional skills. They need to inculcate some values to their processes, or else their reputation will continue to plummet as their ratings. “

” This school is one of the best school which gives exposure to a child in academic as well as in co curricular activities.I have seen this school inside out and the list of what I like about it is endless. The infrastructure is modern. The school has everything to offer a child that he/she needs in his or her development tears including basketball court , fully equipped science labs, art room and more. Through well planned academics & a variety of co-curricular activities, the school aims to bring out the best in its students. “

” This School tortured my son very badly. And I have my points on what they did #1 Those students always tease him and the teachers don’t even care (even the principal) #2 Very cold hearted employees there fresh of the boat and they think there professionals #3 they give kids over 60-80 pages of homework and my son couldn’t do all that #4 they are very rude and shout at kids for no reason #5 they are big liars and they lied a lot like when my son complained about the bullies they replied No no we have very good kids and they said they will hang them upside down #6 they are greedy clowns you have pay them everything. Like to the class to the bus and you need pay them all the time #7 when there gym was built there was no floor so the made the kids sit on the dirt and made there clothes dirty #8 they made my son go to the 3rd floor in stairs with a 10 kg backpack and he’s not even that fit #9 they blame my son for everything #10 they thought my son only math and English and they think the other subjects don’t matter #11 they delete there own ratings because they don’t want you to know it’s a bad school I request parents should think twice before they bring there kids to that school because you wouldn’t know that’s hell “
