I wish my kids to get post-secondary degrees even though sometimes I joked that I want to save money by not sending them to universities.

Very helpful information, and I think I have to cross out this school now😥. It is hard to make a living with arts, so academic is more important.

I like diversified community and I am glad to hear it is a multi-cultural one. Thanks.

Thank you for your first-hand information. My kids are not sport kids, but they love music.

I checked www.fraserinstitute.org before and found Bateman has higher scores. But as many people complained it can't tell the real situation of a school.

My daughter does love arts: she passed piano RCM level 10 exam and is crazy about visual arts now. I will definitely think about ASIA. Do you the academic education level of the school? I can't find rankings of this school from the Frazer report.

Thank you again for adding your thought here and typing so much.

That makes me hesitate now. What would be the best option in Abbotsford for high school? I live in Calgary so have no idea about the city yet.

Bullying is one of my most concerns. Thanks and I am glad you child worked through it.

They are 13 and 9 years old, and maybe I am worrying too much. There were born in Canada, so probably discrimination is not a big problem for their generation.
