Gr. 10 to Gr. 12 (current) — Crestwood is a great school. There are so many sports that are offered and a lot of fun activi...
The Leadership at Crestwood is the best that I have experienced so far. I came from a public school where we did not even know who our guidance counsellors were. Here at Crestwood, the Headmaster's door is always open for a ...
The teachers at Crestwood explain exactly what they expect of each student depending on the student's grade. Of course, you are expected to do more work if you are in grade 12 as opposed to grade 9 or 10, but that just comes ...
The academics are good. Everything I have done has been just right. The work was neither hard nor easy and if it was ever kind of hard like I said above, the teachers are here daily to help me with my success. If I needed m...
Crestwood students are kind, funny and work together to make the school what it is. If you were a student coming to visit for the first time, a Crestwood student would notice and come right up to you and ask if you needed hel...
I would first take them to our gym. This is my favourite place that everyone should visit. Why? I say this because it really shows so much about Crestwood. When you walk in and look up at the walls you can see how many succ...
As a grade 12 student, I go off campus daily for lunch. The immediate area has so many great food places and or hang-out places for my friends and me. The location is great because I can get anything I need and it has improv...
Well I came from a private school and there was no admission process when I went to grade 9 but when I came to Crestwood I did take some tests which were fine. After I took the test I had a great tour of the school and was ab...

Starting high school at a brand new school, not knowing many people, and being one of the young...
I do think that the school leadership is one to be respected. They are such prominent figures in the school and nothing would really happen without them. I do think that if the head of leadership such as the principals and tea...
For the most part, the teachers at Crestwood are pretty amazing. I feel as though they do ask for a lot from you, but this is mostly because they know you can do it. I hear stories from friends at other schools about their tea...
I think Crestwood students would have differing opinions on the workload. It truly depends on what grade and what courses you take. For me, I do find the work quite difficult in some courses. Although sometimes it is super fru...
I think that the school is very diverse when it comes to the types of students. People come from everywhere which shows you intriguing Crestwood is. The majority of the students are from the city but there are also a lot that ...
In terms of the look and layout of our school it isn’t necessarily intending compared to some other private schools i’ve been to! But I think the school build itself doesn’t really matter. But, If i was to take someone o...
The school location is in a great place in my opinion. There is a plaza right across the street with many food options. When students get their license there are also so many plazas that are within driving distance that offer ...
I had an experience in my application process that was a lot different from many other Crestwood students. But, I do remember the process of learning I was going to the school was quite exciting. I went on a shadow day, where ...

I have two daughters at Crestwood Preparatory College, one who just graduated and they both hav...
The school and teachers do a great job communicating with the parents and as a parent, I am quite aware of everything happening in the school. My daughters have never had any problems or concerns with the school but if they d...
Overall the teachers are very good and passionate about teaching and ensuring the students are achieving their best potential. The quality of instruction is at a very high standard. The teachers are very invested in the educa...
Crestwood Preparatory College is a very high-level academic school with many different courses for the students to take. The teachers are always available to the students. The students have many different opportunities to ex...
I think the spirit is good, more can be done to get all the students involved, e.g.: prep rally before the season opener basketball game, getting more students involved in supporting their sports teams. In a small size school...
Overall the quality of student life is good at Crestwood Preparatory College, the teachers are understanding and always willing to help, especially if a student is also an athlete, the school understands that the student-athle...
The school is convenient and easily accessible, the neighbourhood is good and my daughters always venture into the neighbourhood and feel very safe. Crestwood is in a good neighbourhood and my daughters never had any issues. ...
Getting my daughters into Crestwood was easy but not a lot of follow-up once they were in, more communication would have need appreciated, e.g.: books, timetables, and important dates, all before school starts.
For my young...
The guidance councillor was great starting in September with the seniors, ensuring they are aware of what needs to be done for university.
Maybe more university guidance starting in Grade 9 would be helpful as many students d...

The school leadership and administration are awesome. The greatness starts at the top and trickles down to all. The administration leads by example and they hold high standards for all educators and students within the schoo...
The teaching at Crestwood is stellar. Both of my children are coming from the public system and I teach in the public system. There is no comparison. The quality of instruction at Crestwood is second to none. The growth I ha...
The academic program at Crestwood is exemplary. Both of my children have thrived academically since they started attending Crestwood. Following COVID and multiple school closures, Crestwood students did not skip a beat. Staff...
The Crestwood spirit and inclusive culture are felt when you walk through the front doors. You can tell that students want to be there and staff as well. Crestwood feels like a family when you walk through the halls. Due to t...
Both of my children absolutely LOVE attending Crestwood and have both shared that "Crestwood has changed my life." As a parent, I have noticed the personal growth, academic growth and social growth in both of my children, sin...
Crestwood does not look like many private schools in the Toronto area. That is what makes it so special. Crestwood is tucked into a residential neighbourhood, by the local library. This is a private school you may mistake f...
Go for it! Both of my children were admitted through a different process but both had positive experiences. Both of my children were part of interviews that were a good learning experience for them. Tours of the school were ...

My son started attending Crestwood Preparatory College in Grade 7 and has just now completed Gr...
Although there have been many examples of how the school administration at CPC has shown great leadership over the last few years, there has been no singular example more significant than the actions the administration has tak...
We have found the teaching staff at Crestwood to be very dynamic, energetic and engaged. They are of varied interests and from different walks of life representing a true cross-section of the real world. In the classroom, the ...
The academic program at CPC is enhanced and well-rounded. It focuses on the traditional basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic as well as on the latest technology. In addition to an enriched curriculum, it places an e...
I'm sure by now it has become clearly evident based on this review that my family is extremely pleased with Crestwood. It should therefore come as no surprise that we would want our daughter to share that same positive experi...
I asked my son what stands out the most about everyday life at Crestwood. His response was simply that the school is like family. Everybody knows each other, from the students to the teachers, to members of the administration....
The school is situated in a very central location that is easily accessible by either car or public transit. There are also all the amenities that you would need in very close proximity to the school that are readily accessibl...
I found the Crestwood admissions process to be clear and efficient. Although I do not have much to compare it to, I would imagine it is as involved as any similar school application. There are dedicated admissions staff membe...

CPC was truly the best environment for me and I would not be alive today if it wasn't for my ti...
The school leadership and administration were very committed to their students. What excites me now is seeing all of my favourite teachers being promoted into leadership roles, especially Mr. Hecock as the new headmaster. My d...
As someone who was in the public school system before coming to Crestwood, I didn't see a huge difference in the actual quality of teaching, which isn't a bad thing per se as I had very positive experiences in the YRDSB. What ...
As I said, I didn't see a huge difference in the actual teaching or academics between my public schools and Crestwood, but that is not a bad thing. Now at 27 and quite frankly even in university, I recognized how many students...
My grade was incredible and the entire school knew that. It was so sweet because teachers were devastated when we graduated. We were a beautifully well-rounded group of students that exceeded in all aspects of student life and...
My quality of life was really special. I remember the VP once saying to me that they knew that when I was in school I was safe and some days that was what was most important vs. me being engaged in my classes. I was a very uni...
My admissions process was very unique as I enrolled in mid-July going into grade 8 which is of course not an entry-level year. I found the test to be very appropriate and not something that I felt I needed to study for. This i...
This is an area that I didn't really take advantage of because I was so tunnel-focused on going to Quest, which was an alternative university. I did, however, learn about the school from one of my teachers who had heard about ...
