Why it matters

While some researchers have looked to uncover the "ideal" school size, these studies often generalize student preferences and behaviours. Your real goal is to find what best suits your child’s needs. Smaller schools can offer a school-wide sense of connection, while larger schools often provide broader programming and opportunities. Also, note that per-grade enrollment often tells a more meaningful story than total enrollment alone (read topic guide).

Students pursue a balance of academic success and social skills.

Observations from parents and students suggest that Prestige School excels in blending high-level academic success with the teaching of crucial social skills, fostering well-rounded growth in its students.

Prestige School combines high-level academic success with a socially oriented education. It's a balance. It teaches kids about social skills. That's something I appreciate about the school. Teaching kids social skills is extremely important. Without that, I don't see my child being ready for the world when she completes school.

—Marina Kasyanik, parent (see full interview)

I would recommend Prestige School to parents who want to see their kids receive enough attention, have academic success, and learn social skills. Having enough one-on-one time with teachers was important for us. Prestige School offers students enough one-on-one time with the teachers, with small classes, combined with a classical educational style, for a reasonable price. I wanted my daughter to join an intimate class, in a comfortable environment, with a small group of kids. Being in a smaller environment, the teachers can really pay attention to each and every child.

—Marina Kasyanik, parent (see full interview)

When I was seven, I was really, really upset that I had to leave my public school to go to a tiny private school and leave all my friends behind. But I realized that it was better for my education. Because when I look back on it, when I was seven, I didn't even know the abbreviation for Mr. and now my vocabulary is huge. What happened? Apparently, my English teacher happened.

They cooperate to build a sense of community, individuality, and inclusion.

Insights from students, alumni, and parents highlight that Prestige School's warm, close-knit community and commitment to cultural diversity and inclusion create a supportive and unified environment.

Parents at Prestige School come from different cultures and traditions, joining in the community, appreciating and respecting each other. There is lots of cultural diversity among the families, same as how diverse Canada is.

—Marina Kasyanik, parent (see full interview)

The school promotes no-bullying, no-discrimination in a variety of ways. There are kids from different backgrounds, all in the same classroom. It’s great that nobody feels excluded.

—Marina Kasyanik, parent (see full interview)

The school has a very tight-knit community; if one person is absent, you can definitely notice it; nobody goes unnoticed in this environment. We see each other at school events, know each other by name, and recognize and greet each other. I have good relationships with some of the parents, and we have conversations that are not limited to just the school.

—Marina Kasyanik, parent (see full interview)

Appreciating Prestige School is itself something that unites the parents. You can see how others appreciate the school, and really see their child benefiting from the school.

—Marina Kasyanik, parent (see full interview)

The value in our education was very strong, but we also had a strong sense of community. So everyone was really friendly with each other. We called the teachers by their first names. But it was ‘Miss’ in front of it. So my English teacher, for example, would be Miss Debbie.

—Liora Abrera Manoim, alum (see full interview)

I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable my daughter felt, like she was part of a family, and the school has really worked on that. That really made my decision, because it meant a lot to me. I let my daughter spend a day at the class. I wanted to see how comfortable she would be in that environment. She adapted fast to the classroom setting, because the teacher who welcomed her was very kind, cheerful, and empathetic. My daughter was immediately drawn to her personality.

—Marina Kasyanik, parent (see full interview)

I was most surprised about how the different classes got along with each other because we actually got along with each other pretty well. In other schools that are really big, usually, the people tend to stay within their age group, like a year older or a year below. But with us, you don't really have much of a choice. So everyone's just friends.

—Liora Abrera Manoim, alum (see full interview)

There is no typical student. Everyone's very unique. You can't really put it into a stereotype.

—Liora Abrera Manoim, alum (see full interview)

They participate in engaging cultural events.

Feedback from parents and students reveals that Prestige School's diverse cultural events significantly contribute to developing strong relationships and a deeper understanding among students.

It is very important that the school has cultural events, besides their academic program, because these cultural events bring the kids together and unite them. My daughter really enjoys the cultural events at the school, like Spirit Weeks and International Café. In these events, the kids do fun things, like dressing up based on different cultures; they all interact regardless of grade, and it builds better relationships. That is really fun for the kids! I'm very grateful to the school for having these events. They are a very, very important part of education.
