Westboro Academy

” Extremely Disappointing Facility and Customer Service I booked the gym at Académie Westboro Academy for a volleyball session, and the experience was extremely disappointing. The net height, which was promised to be 6 feet 10 inches (which is already low, but it’s not the **worst**), was actually ONLY 6 feet 3.5 inches—or even shorter, completely unsuitable for volleyball. Despite this significant issue, no resolution was offered. When I raised the problem with the on-site custodian, I was told he couldn’t help or contact anyone. After reaching out to the school, I was met with dismissive responses, inaccurate claims, and a refusal to take accountability. They even falsely claimed I was given an option for reimbursement, which never happened. The facility’s mismanagement not only ruined the experience for my group of 14 but also wasted our time and money. For $200, I expected at least basic standards to be met and better customer service. I would not recommend this venue to anyone looking for a reliable space for sports or recreational activities (booked through catchcorner, they didn’t even bother responding either). “

” Our children each started at this school in grade 1, the first in 2019. Throughout the pandemic, their schooling never suffered due to the dedication of the teaching and leadership staff. The Ministry of Education curriculum is taught in its entirety (not 70-75% like in other educational systems) and our kids have flourished. At Westboro Academy, there is a yearly science fair and a French-language heritage fair (grades 5-8) which provides students crucial experience in public speaking. Our children benefit from a robust arts program including music, art and drama. Inclusivity is at the core of everything done at Westboro Academy. Our children are very happy here. “

” What an amazing school and community! Our journey began in grade 2, and our only regret is not enrolling our son earlier. Beyond academics, my son is learning important life skills that you can’t compensate through additional tutoring. The school fosters an environment where critical thinking, curiosity, and creativity thrive. It’s not just about what you learn but how you learn, and the passionate, dedicated teachers serve as inspiring role models for the future generations they’re shaping. “

” My family has been ay Westboro Academy for the past 12 years and it has been a wonderful experience. The school’s commitment to bilingualism, the community feel and the quality of the staff are above and beyond other private schools in Ottawa. “

” We have been extremely happy with our children’s experience at Westboro Academy. Teachers are innovative, fun, warm, and deeply committed. Administration is approachable, responsive, and open to feedback. The small class size and bilingual environment is a huge plus, as is the dedicated instructors for specialty subjects. Highly recommend! “
