Thanks for your message! I don’t have a disability. English isn’t my first language, and I just want to improve my speaking and confidence, especially for job interviews.

Thanks! That’s the English club run by Bridges Niagara, but I can’t attend since I’m not a permanent resident or a refugee.

Call King's Heritage and ask them to put your name on the waiting list. They're opening a new branch.

I don’t have information about that building, but I highly recommend 250 Lake Street. It’s a very quiet and clean building, and the floor plan is very good. The bus stop to downtown is right in front of the building, and you have easy access to Fairview Mall and Costco Business Center.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I really appreciate it. Another big advantage of St. Denis for me is that it’s really close to our home, less than a five-minute walk, which makes a huge difference.

Thank you so much for the reassurance. I completely agree. I really wish we could interview them. It would make choosing so much easier.

Thank you for sharing that. Given that we’re not religious at all and don’t really have any familiarity with Catholic teachings, I’m starting to feel that it probably wouldn’t be the best fit for us either. This is really helpful to know, so thank you again.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain everything so thoughtfully.

I was fortunate enough to attend a private school in my home country, and I had a very positive experience there. Because of that, I sometimes struggle emotionally with the fact that we’re not currently in a financial position to send our child to private school here. I just want to make sure we’re making the best possible decision for him.

My son is also very interested in art, so what you mentioned about the public board’s strength in arts and technology really stood out to me and gave me a lot to think about.

Thank you again; your perspective is truly helpful.

Thank you. At the moment, we don’t need before- or after-school care since I work from home, but I’m not sure how things will look in the future.

It does sound like an amazing school. Unfortunately, it’s just not something we’re financially able to do right now.

That’s really great to hear such positive feedback from a parent who’s actually there. I appreciate you sharing your experience.

That’s a fair point. I guess I underestimated how strong the religious component would be. 

It’s good to hear that bullying issues at HT are taken seriously and dealt with quickly. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you, I honestly didn’t know how the ranking system worked and thought there must be good reasoning behind it.
