"I am the mom who met you this morning in the library (during the October 2022 Open House). Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to speak with me. I have agonized over choosing a school for my children for about a year. I have visited almost every single one and asked countless people about their present and past experiences, where they send their kids, where they went, what they have heard, etc. I can honestly say that I was blown away by the school. The staff was really incredible, but the students were equally impressive. Their confidence and ease, and pride in the school was exceptional. Even though I went to a different (QAIS school) and drove by the Priory each day, I didn't realize what a hidden gem it is."

“Very small class sizes ensure that every student is well attended to and that the children are not only able to become friends with their classmates, but they are also able to learn the names and interact with students from all grades. Our very favourite inter-grade activity is the "reading buddy" program where students from a higher grade will help to teach and practice reading to kindergarten students. The children are encouraged to befriend their classmates and other students in the different grades.”

“Our son's experience at The Priory was outstanding from beginning to end. The Priory curriculum and culture provide a nurturing, inspiring and confidence-building environment. With each grade, from kindergarten to Grade 6, the teachers, principal, and the administrative staff at the school ensured that all of the students felt safe and empowered to learn not only their subjects but also the art of public speaking, music through the school's band program, how to present in front of a class as well as the entire school, the importance of teamwork since they have collaborative events that involve the older students working with the younger students, and the importance of sports. There is a lot to be impressed with at The Priory, but for our family, the fact that the students are constantly engaged and introduced to new aspects of science, technology, art, community work and more, and that they want to go to the school every day - was outstanding. It's hard to find a Priory student who wants to stay home from school!”

“My daughter loved The Priory. She flourished because she felt safe and loved by everyone, her teachers and friends. As she grew up, she learned to take care of the younger grades and loved to read to her Reading Buddy. She would always come home happy to share what she learned at school that day. She was well prepared for High School, and most importantly, she learned values that will stay with her forever.”
