    The negative posters do not actually have kids at Mt Pleasant. I now have, after switching my kids'…read moreschool. Having experienced many programs (5 kids ranging from elementary to adult), at many different schools, we are blown away by Mt Pleasant. This is education at its pinnacle, with kind, caring teachers who are committed to their students' excellence. They offer a classical liberal arts education, with emphasis on numeracy and literacy, but a good grounding in everything else. I really appreciate the efforts to foster public speaking skills and good character and work habits along with excellent academics. Your kids don't have to be brilliant to get in (mine were pretty average), just at grade level with demonstrated ability to focus and work responsibly. The entrance test is pretty easy. I think after testing for basic skills, the real thing they're looking for is behavioural info to see if the child can focus, or whether he will have a hard time sitting In a desk and will disrupt the rest of the students. The teachers take responsibility for making sure your kids learn and do their work, unlike the prevailing ethos at many schools where parents are considered the main educators. My kids have really responded. For the first time, they don't say "recess" or "lunch" is their favourite subject. Now they are excited about science, or LA or math or geography, and so proud of their accomplishments. I used to be so worried about my kids' education and had to put so much effort into teaching them at home. Thanks to Mt Pleasant, I can totally relax and be certain they will have the skills and habits to thrive at junior high, high school and in post-secondary. EDITED TO ADD: It's 3 years later and my husband and I agree that transferring our kids to this school was one of the best decisions we ever made as parents. My son is now in junior high after 2 years at MP and the transition was amazingly easy. The work habits and discipline he learned at MP made Grade 7 a total breeze. The only issue is that you will find MP kids are at least a year ahead of the regular curriculum in math, so you may need to supplement their math if you want them to stay accelerated. PS. The program isn't for everyone. It works best for kids who are able to sit and focus and who take instruction well. Disruptive classroom behaviour is not tolerated, so if this is a challenge for your kid, I would not recommend this program as you are only setting them up for butting heads with both their teacher and their classmates. On the other hand, contrary to some criticism I have read, this is not at all about making kids into robots. In fact, what I have found is that because all of the kids have a strong foundation of knowledge, this seems to result in a much higher level of discourse, debate and interest from them, in class and out of it. Because of the mock elections and debate in class, my son turned into a complete political junkie for the last provincial and federal election.

    Okay, I'm not blood-related to any of the kids who attend the Cogito Program at Mount Pleasant…read moreElementary. But I used to work at the after-school care here, and saw what the kids are like after a hard day of Cogito. Cogito is a special academic program that uses explicit phonetics and repetition strategy to get the material into the kids' heads. They have regular homework everyday, and often the kids would do their homework in the daycare before their parents picked them up. I don't know about you, but I was never that diligent when I was seven years old. While I'll admit the program works, because these are some of the smartest kids I've ever seen, it does take a toll on them. The poor children are probably mentally exhausted, and want nothing more than to unleash all their pent-up energy from the whole day. Unfortunately right after school hours, when they're with the daycare staff! I think it's important to remember that all kids learn differently, so while Cogito may work wonders for some, it may not be the greatest for other kids, especially the ones who need to learn through hands-on activity. On that note, I will add that it's great for getting kids to read early. There's nothing like a five-year-old teaching you the difference between the "a" and "ai" phonemes!

    this school is UTTERLY not the best. No joke the kids at school are SOOO mean coming from a student…read morewho goes here. The principals dont do anything really like their punishments are really bad, There was a kid who quite LITERALLY got hatecrimed and that could get you expelled in some places, and yeah the kid got a suspension and had to deal with paying for new recourses for the kid who had that happened to, but a TEACHER had to set that up not the principal. Another example, in 2025 there was this kid who would GROPE other kids specifically girls butts and sometimes BOOBS and he got let off with a warning. Se kids even bring weapons to school. The only reason why my review isnt FULLY a one star review is cause the teachers are nice. Ms May, she's a junior high teacher is the sweetest person ever, Ms Jay is pretty cool too, same with Ms Wallace, Ms Irvine, Mr Arsenault, Mr Lazarick, Mr Mclofflin basically everyone up in junior high is super friendly. but I wouldn't recommend going here PERSONALLY, but come at your own risk. Coming from a student.

    Terrible. Cant give 0 stars so i have to give 1. I was bullied and my friend got yelled at for…read moretaking a test when grade 1s walked by. He was told that he was being too loud. Not sure why/how the school allows this kind of behavior by the teachers. I was told that I am the reason all the girls in my class get bullied but they all bully me. TL;DR Sexist Teachers, Rude Teachers, and Lots of bullying. 0/10 I Don't Recommend
