Kendellhurst Academy Private School

Bozena Grzegorczyk

I wanted to thank the staff and teachers, Paula, Roni and John for the wonderful environment they have provided to my daughter. My daughter is currently attending grade 5 at the Kendellhurst Academy. She has been part of the Kendellhurst community (and it certainly is a community not only for students but for parents as well) since she was 22 months old. Through this time and with the help of the school’s staff, administrators and teachers Chloe has grown up to be a well rounded and happy girl who loves to learn. The school is absolutely outstanding. The curriculum is well above the standard we hear other parents at other schools talk about. The kids learn not only the academic requirements but also learn the importance of community and diversity. Everyone from the teachers to the vice-principle and the owners of the school always strive for continual growth and welcome suggestions from parents. The kids get exposed to variety of activities including volunteering, sponsoring children in less fortunate countries, field trips including the Art Gallery, Salmon Release, tree planting, skiing and skating. ‘m happy to say that my daughter loves going to school everyday even when she is sick it takes a while to convince her to stay at home as she does not want to miss anything that might be happening at the school We are very proud to tell all our friends and family about the school..wish it would go all the way upto grade 12! Thank you!

Firstly, THANK YOU! Thank you Kendellhurst for all your hard work and energy you put into your job of teaching children consistently on a daily basis. When we pick up or drop off our son at Kendellhurst everyday, we see from the hallways the students are always engaged in learning, working, smiling, and even laughing. It is easy to see that the students are happy to be at school. The staff and the administration are always welcoming, polite and professional. Immediately, one gets a sense of the school’s positive environment by watching the interaction between the teachers, the administrators and the students. Cleanliness and order are evident from the start of the school day until the end. This has been a refreshing experience for us as parents as our son transferred from the public system last year where we witnessed and experienced the exact opposite learning environment we see at Kendellhurst. Our son loves his school, his classmates and he loves to learn thanks to Kendellhurst’s magic recipe for success. Our son has excelled academically in all subject areas and he can’t stop talking about the extra- curricular clubs and programs offered at Kendellhurst. Again Thank you Kendellhurst for making our entire family happy and restoring our faith in the educational system.

My children have been at Kendellhurst since pre-K and are now in grades 3 & 5. The teachers and staff (and owners) here go above & beyond what other friends have told us is (or was) their experience at other schools (both in the private & public schools). The teaching methods are nurturing AND motivating (the smaller class sizes are advantageous to having this happen) and has given my children the confidence to learn at an advance level. My husband & I are grateful that our children go to school excited AND come home happy with constant stories of their football or soccer games at recess, the dishes they made in culinary arts, their spelling quiz marks or the fun they had in science class. I highly recommend you check out Kendellhurst Academy!

I have only great things to say about Kendellhurst. We switched our son to this school 5 years ago as he was not succeeding at the school he had been at. After evaluating several options, we knew KA was the school for us. He's been there ever since. KA not only helped my son catch up where he was lagging, but repaired the negative association he had developed about school and his own academic potential. The administration quickly understood the type of support he required and worked closely with us to ensure he succeeded. KA has a strong culture of believing in each child's potential and helping them to capitalize on their strengths, while at the same time proving a broad range of fantastic experiences and stretching them academically. My son loves that he gets to do wood-working club, karate, fine art, unique outings like the salmon release and so on. With it being a small school, there's a strong sense of inclusion and belonging and a family-like atmosphere. I am grateful year after year that we found Kendellhurst!

wonderful learning environment! Teachers really work hard to get to know each child's needs and motivate them to succeed.
