This school is garbage. There basketball team is also trash, as a 3'10 midget was their leading scorer.
My daughter has been attending Aberdeen Hall for 2, going on 3 years now. I'm a single parent and with enough challenges in my day to day life, they have always been kind and accommodating to me and my daughter's needs.She loves going to this school and she's always excited about going to school in the morning.Even though I'm currently a low income parent, I've noticed they give equal treatment to my daughter.I don't believe what the other reviewers are saying since I'm not witnessing it first hand at all.She is excelling in her classes and the clubs that she has joined.The sacrifice for paying for education goes a long way, but you as the parent need to ensure you are getting what you paid for. That's on you.
I have had a similar experience with my child, who spent 2 years at this school. I heard from other 4 families who had run into the same problem: if you don't donate, they don't respect you, don't look at you, and try to get rid of you. Oh and I can see that all the five stars are either students that donate a lot or faculty. And academics are not important at this school. It's all about money.
School and faculty are over rated, BIG TIME!. We had three children for one year and we couldn't wait for the end of the school year to pull them out. Staff and faculty exercise blunt and discriminatory preferential treatment to families who donate money to the school. This unfair treatment extends to the classroom. In an educational institution, there should be no difference between a family who donates and another who doesn't. BTW, I see at least one reviewer who gave 5 stars to the school is an employee of the school !!!
We had our children for three years there and learned that the school is run by incompetent, and in some cases not qualified people with titles but no substance underneath. The school 'overgrew' the current management abilities. New head of this school and new principals are needed with actual background, experience and expertise. There is handful of good teachers there but since they have their kids in the school as they receive a discount, they are afraid to speak up, they have no voice. School mgmt has no idea how to properly deal with bullying at this school despite having policies. Many kids were pulled by parents from this school due to bullying. Supervision at recesses is lacking. Fraser Institute ranking of this school is boosted by international students which this school is extremely actively recruiting especially in China. Music program is very poor quality. School takes credit for many kids music skills who actually learn in outside programs such as Kelowna Community Music school etc. As others stated, it is overrated school with very deceiving faade which unfortunately we got caught in for a bit as probably others will as well until they realize that the quality is simply not there and kids education is not a priority despite what they present.
