I am a student in grade 12 currently attending this school. The honest truth about this school is…read moreit is EXCELLENT for academics. You/your child will be attending one of the best schools academically in Toronto, but you/your child will have absolutely no social life. I came here from a very large public school and let me tell you my social life, now, is a crap shoot. There are no friend groups, and no one gets along well. Constant unnecessary drama and students do not get along well at all. Also prepare for your child to be spoiled for life because the clientele that can afford a $30,000 a year school are the wealthiest in Toronto. Lastly the school has no sports, school spirit, student life, and the "committees and clubs" are a joke. Nothing is taken seriously by the students except for academics, and the teachers and administration promote a miserable environment by only focusing on academics. If you want your child to be extremely bright but likely a nerd without a social life who spends his days at home either studying or playing video games then this is the school for you. If you want a well rounded happy child who balances his school and social life than this is definitely not the school for you. My personal opinion is to NOT send your child here.

When I came here many years ago, I have to say I wasn't as pleased with the school as I am today…read more The school over the last 10 years has really evolved and marked itself as a unique private school for girls. It's differentiated itself by establishing the IB diploma, which is by far superior to the OSSD that you would get at other schools. I wish I had that opportunity and always was jealous at my UCC counterparts that they had it. By nature of this diploma is forces the girls to become leaders in their own right. The discipline, application and thoughfulness required to complete the courses inherently help develop the mind to think a certain way, and require the girls to be motivated in a certain way. And there's something to be said about the type of people that the girls would befriend and their relationships in the future. Thinking of sending your daughter here? I would. But then there's the debate between public vs. private school and when is the right time.

The Teachers on the other hand are very hit or miss. The good ones are very good, the bad ones are very bad.

The school needs a new principal and one new vice principal to replace both Ms. Lee and Ms. Mazzaferro. I have also found this school to take little scuffles such as pushing to be a bigger priority then racism.

They were heartless and unprofessional. The most important things were their job stability and their publicity. At Earl Haig SS, when ESL students cried, teachers just walked past them. When a white girl cried, a teacher conforted her with a hot drink and snacks. It was painful to watch. Unprofessional English teachers teach Gr.12 English and told immigrant kids that they were hopeless. One of the kids has become a published author and recalls her tdsb experience like telling a joke. Our lives cannot be treated like jokes. Stay away from this corrupt place!

I was a former student of Earl Haig Secondary School from 1988 to 1990…read more Around 1989, there was an outing on Toronto Centre Island. We had barbecue hot dogs for lunch. During the barbecue, a sausage had been dropped on the sandy floor. The female teacher, who was around 45 years old, announced volunteer to take that dirty sausage for bonus mark. (According to the year book, the name of this teacher was "R. Wadhera". Attachment is her photo.) Finally, she asked a female student as volunteer. Many schoolmates asked her not to fall on trap of this teacher. For unsure reason, this female student accepted the dirty sausage. As one of the schoolmates, I didn't do anything to stop her from falling on this trap. (Now, I feel very guilty and very regret. I find myself a accomplice who trample a pure, lovely, innocent, noble character and beautiful girl.) I believe the behavior of this villainous teacher, hurt many of the students who loved the girl who took that dirty sausage. Under the witness of God and Buddhas, whatever I write in here is the truth and real truth.

(There are many positive comments that are not featured at the top, which I don't understand.) The Linden School is simply one of the finest communities that I have ever been part of. The passion and expertise from the faculty is just unmatched. (Seriously: Go to Ratemyteacher and see what kids are saying.) The students achieve incredible things, likely because the teachers are approachable, engaged, and really care about their students' achievements. If a kid (or parent) needs help, the teachers are there for them. The curriculum is interesting, without a lot of emphasis put on textbooks or prepackaged programmes. Teachers listen to students and respond to individual interests and needs. Much of the classroom work is based on real problems, and hands-on activities. This approach seems to be working, as the graduates are articulate, interesting people who go on to do amazing things. There is also an outstanding athletics programme. Although there are no tryouts, the teams still somehow keep winning championship banners! Seriously--the gym is full of them. I can't recommend Linden highly enough. If you're looking for a school where people care about you and where you'll be encouraged to do amazing things, You should consider it.

Attending The Linden School was one of the worst experiences of my life. It has been over 10 years…read moresince I left, and I still carry trauma from my time there. Instead of being a place of growth and encouragement, the school created an atmosphere of fear, exclusion, and constant judgment. A teacher, Rory consistently singled me out in ways that felt unfair and humiliating. The leadership under the principal, Janice, only made things worse -- the administration fostered an environment that was punitive rather than supportive, and students like me were left feeling isolated and diminished. The impact of this experience has stayed with me long after, which says everything about the culture of this school. I would strongly warn families to reconsider before sending their children here.
