I've been at this school for over 10 years and I have to say that the management was better when…read morethe old owner was still in charge. Mrs. Remtulla, the previous director of education, was more "in-touch" with the school. You can see how truly she loved the school and she genuinely cared. On the other hand as soon as her daughter, Ms. Remtulla took over, things started going bad. Once the high school was added, grade eights had no graduation because they expected you to continue on to the high school. When asked about the graduations teachers and the principal said it was the director's idea and we couldn't do anything about it. My parents have paid for over 10 years of tuition and uniforms only to be told there was no graduation. This school is not worth the tuition especially if you are in middle school and thinking about going here. If you are in grade 7, you will be in the Stouffville campus and there the campus is trash. Sometimes the water doesn't work, sometimes the heating doesn't work and sometimes the water isn't clean. I strongly advise you to go to a public school instead to save the money. Some teachers genuinely don't care about you and most of the good teachers have left. Some of the teachers I had had no idea what they were teaching and they wrote tests based off of things they don't even know. Some teachers have clear favourites and a lot of them get mad at some other students for no apparent reason. One teacher I had yelled at one of my classmates when they were correcting her about their name. She called him one name and he was trying to tell her that wasn't his name and then she sent him to the office. To get to the gym, you need to take a hike to get there. The gym is secluded behind a bunch of trees. We had to hike in the snow there for gym classes. Overall, this school isn't worth the cost especially for the higher grades. Good luck.

Great selection of After School programs. Parking is a little over crowded during peak pick up and drop off hours. They do realize that and are planning an underground parking in the future. Like all schools, having the right teacher who gets along with the child and parent is the best fit. And to be realistic, this cannot always be the case. We did encounter some teachers that did not fit well with my children, but the administrators can take care help if you voice out. Overall, this is a good school. Children are very happy here and have made a lot of friends of all classes.

They refuse to pay back the money they owe to the public and have made a habit of taking parents' money like this. Their school policies are absurd and they (the two brother owners) don't even follow their own policies. They are very poor communicators and very ignorant and oppressive. My daughter loved the two teacher she had there, but the emotional stress that Mr. Akbar imposed on our family traumatized my daughter, and now she would not even want to enter the school parking lot.

I am a parent of a 5-year-old boy, and I enrolled him in a week-long summer camp recently. My son…read morewas not enjoying the experience whatsoever, due to lack of interesting and engaging activities and a divide he felt between him and his counselors that made them seem cold and unapproachable. However, the tipping point for me was when my son came home with a large cut on his left ankle. He told me that he had fallen on concrete at a park during camp and had scraped his ankle. When he approached a teacher, asking for help, she shrugged him away, telling him that another camper had recently fallen as well and that she was handling it better than she was, and for him to "suck it up." It was evident that my son had gotten his injury tended to only an hour or so after receiving it, and this experience, as well as his time at the camp overall, left him with not only physical but emotional harm as well. This was the school's summer program, but if the camp was any indication of what attending the school is like, I would strongly advise against sending your children to receive their education at North Star.

Since starting at Oak Learners, my daughter is much more willing to take chances in learning (she went from to being a reluctant non-reader to an enthusiastic beginner reader who isn't shy any more to ask for help).
