UMCA International Academy – North York
” We couldn’t be happier with our experience at UMCA! As a family with three young kids, we were looking for a school that not only provided excellent academic opportunities but also a warm and caring environment. UMCA has exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and valued. The teachers are not only highly professional but also incredibly nurturing and dedicated to each child’s success. Our children have thrived academically, thanks to the strong and well-rounded curriculum that challenges them and fosters a love for learning. The school’s commitment to creating a supportive community is evident in everything they do. Our kids are excited to go to school every day, and they come home happy and full of stories about what they’ve learned and the fun activities they’ve enjoyed. The small class sizes and personalized attention have made a world of difference. We are grateful for the positive and encouraging environment that UMCA provides. It’s clear that the staff genuinely cares about each student’s well-being and growth. We highly recommend UMCA to any family looking for a top-notch education and a place where children are truly cared for. Thank you, Miss Suzana, for making such a wonderful impact on our children’s lives! “
” Umca is an amazing school. It has small classes and you get a lot of help from the teachers. If there is any bullying or if anyone says someone is talking bad about you the vice principal will take care of it. There are 15 students in one class. You get a lot of attention from the teachers and you learn a lot. All of the teachers are very helpful and kind. You should really consider letting your kids going to Umca. “
” I’ve been at UMCA for 3 years, and the experience has been amazing. They have lots of activities like field trips, workshops, and even swimming, and the teachers are very supportive and helpful. Mr.Sam is my favourite teacher because he changed how I look at English. I used to dislike English, but Mr.Sam changed my perspective. The students here are very kind; everyone is friendly, and they always help you with any problems, even outside of school. The community UMCA built is just incredible, and I hope when you join this school you will also have this experience. “
” Prior to UMCA we’ve been in a public school and another private school. So far UMCA is everything we could wish for – great facility, adequate professional (!) teachers, rather high level of education (those kids who do not want to study they do won’t study no matter what school they are in and vice versa), many friends, the classes are yet small. Everything is so well organized, I was pleasantly happy to see that. Proper books, workbooks, binders, etc. There are many teachers and each teaches their own subject. Whereas, in many other schools you have one teacher for multiple subjects. Kids learn a LOT, especially by heart (nothing like that in public schools). Teachers and Suzana are always open to conversations, they also solve issues really professionally and quickly. Another important point is that teachers are happy there and whenever student needs help or support teachers are there for the kids :) that also means a lot. UMCA always promotes a team and community spirit through their events. So, overall, those are people whom we trust and we know that our children are safe there. UMCA is like a little world that reminds me my school back home in Eastern Europe. In any case if you consider any school go and meet with the Principal, have a tour, ask questions, and this will give you a good idea of how things are run there. In my opinion they do their best, and they do it on a high level. It is then parents’ role to help the school and work with teachers in one team. As even if it is a school that costs money, knowledge will not magically appear in student’s heads. Kids do need to work for that. I’d like to mention that some children fit into certain schools, and some don’t. The same way some schools will be great for some, and not so good for others. Anything negative? Not really. Can’t think of anything. By the way, the food at UMCA is amazing! Hope my honest comment helps people make their decision. “
