"The Priory has been a second home for my children, providing them in
their formative years with a truly unique learning experience. Under the
loving guidance of a dedicated staff my children achieved academic
excellence and developed intellectually, morally and socially. Countless
generations of children, including myself, have passed through its doors
on the way to leading successful and meaningful lives."
Magda Bruce,
Interpreter, former student and parent of three Priory students
"The years from Kindergarten to grade six are highly significant in the
intellectual, emotional and spiritual development of all human beings.
These are the years to develop self-confidence and self-awareness, while
at the same time coming to realize the needs of others.
The child's innate curiosity needs to be guided in a way that keeps
that curiosity alive to grow into a life-long intellectual curiosity.
And this happens only in an atmosphere not of drudgery but of joy in the
act of learning-experiencing what Bernard Lonergan has termed 'the pure
desire to know'. This is the image I have always noted in the Priory's
school agenda." J. Martin O'Hara, Former member of the Board of The
Priory School, Retired Professor of Education, McGill University, and
Vice-president (Academic) Thomas More Institute
“Parents value the enhanced sense of community in this spiritually based
school, noted also in their CESI report in 2005. They teach you to
become a better person where you learn by example, sharing, doing and
being, as opposed to ‘do this’ and ‘do that’.” Good Schools Guide
