They provide rigorous academic preparation for university and beyond.
Comments from alumni and current students suggest that the rigorous academic programs and dedicated faculty at Prestige School provide a solid foundation, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for the academic challenges and environment of university life.
At Prestige School they really do want to prepare you for the upcoming years that you're going to spend in college and university. Because it's a small private school, it's not too many people, compared to public schools. Our principal and vice-principal and the teachers, they give you advice if you don't know what you should do, what courses you should focus on, what courses you should or shouldn't take. They don't tell you what to do. They just give you advice so that you can think about it. And it helped me to choose the program that I went to, even though I'm still not sure if I belong there.
Prestige’s life science program really helped me with first-year university because a lot of first-year biology and chemistry that I learned was almost exactly the same thing that I learned in Biology Grade 12 and Chemistry Grade 12. So it helped me feel prepared and the material did not make me lost or confused. I knew exactly what I was learning, so I just felt like I was redoing Grade 12 in chemistry and biology.
I'm noticing a lot of overlap with what I was taught in math and what I'm being taught now in first year of university, whether it’s because I took the AP course or just because a lot of our math teachers, even from elementary like to take it a step further and were providing more content. If they see that you understand the basics, they'll take you a step further. So I always felt like I was ahead in math, and it's definitely helping me out right now, now that I'm in university.
I got scholarship offers from every single university I applied to. I was definitely well prepared for the application process. I went to a couple teachers for help because I had a lot of essays to write, even if it's not an English teacher. Especially when you're doing so many different applications it can be really overwhelming. There was a lot of help with that.
I didn't help my daughter to choose her university because I believe she made her decision according to your advice and your academic counselling. We got everything at Prestige.
DECA Club is one extracurricular I did throughout all of high school and I really enjoyed it. And that was a two-, three-hour per week commitment. And I had a wonderful opportunity to figure out more stuff about business, which ultimately led me to choosing my university program.
My daughter applied to five universities. And she even got some scholarship offers from Guelph University, but she decided to choose the University of Toronto. She got accepted to all universities, some even offered scholarships.
Supportive teachers provide personalized guidance.
Feedback from students and parents highlights how the supportive and approachable teachers at Prestige School offer personalized guidance and advice, creating a close-knit community that helps students make informed decisions about their academic and personal lives.
So the thing that I really appreciated in our school were the teachers. The teachers really helped out a lot. That's one of the best features about your school—how close knit the community is. And the teachers are very approachable and they're also very funny. They can have fun conversations with you and help you out, and a lot of them gave me very good advice even before I was going into university. When I was younger, they would always give me advice to help me with friends. If I had any situations, they would help me see different perspectives.
In college, you have to know everything by yourself and you have to be prepared because you are a grown up person and you have to choose everything by yourself. Now that I've finished the first year in college I look back at Prestige and, gosh, I miss it because they would literally explain everything to you.
When I came to university it was a completely different environment. The teachers are not teaching the same way or treating you the same way. It makes you really appreciate how amazing the teachers are in our school and how much they care how supportive they are of you. Once you go to other schools and universities, it just makes you appreciate them even more, and makes you want to come and visit them any time that you can and say ‘Hello’ and tell them about your life.
