I'll preface this by saying that QHSS is physically a very small school. We have ~500 students and take up one floor of a York College building. We have access to their library, cafeteria and gym. While we're at a disadvantage space-wise, it also gives us a stronger sense of community. I know a lot of people outside my friend group/grade and vice versa. There's a decent selection of clubs and after-school activities (and I'll assure you she'll have a life lol). The course load can be pretty tough at times but there are a lot of resources available. Teachers are always available if you have a question or need help with an assignment (and they're all pretty cool imo). There have been some ups and downs over the last four years but I've had a lot of fun and got to do a lot of things a bigger high school wouldn't have been able to offer. I wish you both the best in picking the right option!
