My daughter joined WillowWood summer school when she was in grade 8 to see if this is the right fit for her for high school. Her experience was amazing she did not mind studying in the summer which shows how happy she was. The teachers were so nice and helpful and answered all my questions with a big smile always. She is about to finish her first year and she is really enjoying her time studying and participating in all the extra activities they offer. As a parent I always wanted to make sure my daughter is happy safe learning and enjoying her time all this is offered by Williwwood. As a mom I can say I am so lucky to have found the school from the teachers to the administrators they are amazing and I can’t thank them enough for all their hard work patience understanding and support. The school organizes lots of activities and they try their best to let all the kids participate from the Christmas show to the yearly trip which was Japan this year (my daughter was lucky enough to go she had a blast and the trip was so organized from start to finish) to the play Annie to the spring fest. All this fun and still the kids are studying and working hard to reach their potential with the non ending support of the teachers. I can see all the improvements and changes that happened to my daughter and I am so happy and thankful for each and everyone in the school.

My son joined WillowWood School in Grade 6 and it was not just a game changer for him but for us as a family too. Constantly struggling earlier to cope up academically, socially and emotionally, he found a safe, positive, non-judgemental and nurturing ... read full review

I can’t say enough about how positive our experience at WillowWood has been. They teach to the individual student rather than the average student. The community is supportive and inclusive, the teachers are passionate and the administration is accessible and responsive. I recommend Willow wood for anyone who is looking for an individualized and supportive environment for their child.

WillowWood provided an excellent education and community for learning for my son. The teachers and administrators really care about the social and emotional wellbeing of their students. My son is graduating high school and is very sad to leave this community that has fostered his confidence and prepared him the next steps in his learning.

Willowood is my sons “happy Place “ .It’s very rare to find an institution that that that focuses on each individual child’s well-being . Strong connections are fostered between teachers and peers through kindness, compassion and understanding. This creates a safe environment for kids to be themselves and opens them up to blossom and reach their full potential. His class teacher has built a strong bond with him and his peers where they are very supportive of each other in both class and playground and share special connections. All kids are encouraged to participate in extra murals and the team spirit is heartwarming . School plays and events are inclusive of everyone and all the kids shine doing what they love . My son previously hated being in the spotlight and performed a solo in the school play . For me this is accredited to the incredible staff who touched his heart, empower... read full review

WillowWood is a great school with strong sense of community. It feels like a big happy family. Their Pod program for Lower and middle school allow kids to navigate the subjects at their own pace (both faster or slower than their grade) so they don't get bored or overwhelmed. I have never seen anything like it in other schools that we were in. Individualized learning and one-on-one support is also another one of WillowWood's many strengths. We have been at WillowWood for 9 years and there is nothing but good memories and appreciation for this amazing school.

Our daughter is currently in grade 12 at Willowwood. She transitioned to Willowwood from the public system at the start of her grade 9 year. Willowwood has been an extremely positive school environment for her. Small classes, supportive and engaged teachers and the opportunity for her to develop positive friendships. This year, The teachers and admin staff have been extremely helpful and supportive with the grade 12 kids as they prepare for University. Our daughter is very happy that she made the move to Willowwood, and as parents, it has been an extremely positive experience for us as well.
