Testimonials:
Diana - Student
“At Canada Star Secondary School, they give you a lot more opportunities than at other schools because they offer smaller classes, and students get to work individually with every teacher, and that is probably the best thing about the school”
Uliana - Student
“I like our school because it gave me a lot of opportunities. I got a chance to go to Ontario’s top university. The school staff, teachers, and our lovely principal is so caring about the students. Teachers make our classes interesting and you can’t wait for each class to begin, because they are actually cool. This school is supporting its students, and believes in them; not only believes, but is also finding a way to help students achieve their goal. It is not only about academic success like in other schools, but also about being a good person and developing in every way.”
Scarlett - Parent
“Canada Star Secondary has made my son a future artist, a better leader, and a better person. Canada Star has a great system of continuously pushing students to reflect and explore their college studies and career. Small class size, good teacher-student ratio and unique academic prep setup all contribute to my son’s success.
More importantly, my son had many chances to participate and lead in community service as a member of the National Society of High School Scholars. He was admitted by his dream school Art Center in U.S. in 2019. Year one in the college is intensive, but Canada Star has prepared him well both skill-wise, academically and mentally. Thanks to Canada Star, my son is confident, passionate and promising in his future studies and new life at college.”
Steven - Student
“It’s kind of hard to point to words to describe how great our school is, but it is the atmosphere that gets me. Everyone is so nice and friendly, and we have a really good working environment.”
