The Giles School - An Easy Decision

Perhaps the hardest decision we have had to make as parents was where to send our child to school.

After looking at many schools we decided that The Giles School was right for us for two overriding reasons. Firstly, we liked the teachers, the environment and make up of the school, and the curriculum, both for the early years and for high school. And secondly, we had both graduated from The Toronto French School in the 1980's when Harry Giles was headmaster, so not only did we have high standards but we also knew what to expect from a school run by Mr. Giles.

Diligence and Attention to Detail Pay Off

When our daughter was 2-1/2, my husband and I began to look for a Junior Kindergarten. We knew little about education—what to teach or when and how to teach it. But we knew what was important to us. We wanted a French education. We wanted a small class with plenty of personal attention. We wanted a strong curriculum beginning in the lowest grades.

French Immersion Crisis

It was no secret that our local French immersion public school was one of the best in the city. Initially, I thought that was a good thing. Then my friends and neighbours told me about their experiences trying to send their children there, and how it took years and years to get a placement, if they did at all.
