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!

The school even has great volunteer-run extras like the Skipping Club and the always excellent Strategic Gaming Club. The Academic Challenge programs leads to Steele Heights Jr. High and M.E.

If you are looking for a school in the Londonderry/McLeod area it is well worth a look.

I lived in Greenfield for most of life. I love it there. It's a beautiful community and a great…read moreneighbourhood. Greenfield Elementary is no exception. I attended one year of elementary school here and it was great. I went back a few months ago to see if things were still as I remembered them (I was feeling nostalgic) and they were. It was great! I also wanted to talk to someone bout volunteer opportunities which the office was happy to talk to me about. The most recent thing that sticks in my head about this school though, is the kids. I was going for a run one morning when I found a group of kids standing just to the side of the school at the edge of the field with protest signs. They read "Save Our Field." I guess there were plans to develop it. The passion that these kids had for their school and their community was incredible. That's why Greenfield Elementary is great - the kids. That's the great thing about Greenfield as a whole, it's a community and everyone there sees it that way. It's a great thing.

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.

Bob T's Review is entirely inaccurate. I had attended the school at the time of that principal, and…read moreyou were ALWAYS allowed to ride your bike, skateboard, Etc. Also, At that school, teachers and staff don't arrive before 8:00 Am, so I do not know how it is possible for that to have happened. You couldn't go in puddles at the time because tons of students were falling and getting wet, and removing all access is what was best for everybody! That principal was the kindest principal I have ever had, and he never raised his voice, let alone screamed at children, saying "I CONTROL YOU. YOU HAVE TO BE ON SCHOOL PROPERTY." As well, Skateboarding on the road can be illegal in some cases, so that teacher was just looking out for students to ensure ultimate safety! In That school, they cannot make you stay late, and they probably wouldn't. AND CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS SCHOOL IS IN SAN DIEGO! As well as my own review, The school is not my favourite since the previous principal left. Poor planning, field trip forms coming home the day before the trip, and other things similar to that. Overall It is a decent school though, and again, Bob T's Review is Completely false information!

In those three years however; was fortunate to have maybe the worlds greatest teachers. All of them were excellent. Of course teaching in those days, was a lot different than teaching today. But, I had teachers who gave so much of themselves and each day was an experience in sharing a personal bonding relationship, that is almost not seen any more. All three of my teachers where outstanding, sober and wonderful people - first; then great teachers second. Glengarry was all about the power of the relationships, and the staff extending their hearts to us! Memories of that school will go with me to the very end. Thank you.

Steinhauer Elementary is such a great school!…read more Not only did I go to Steinhauer as a kid but I've been back over the years to visit the teachers and see how things have changed. I have volunteered in some of the classes and it's still a great place to be! It's just as I remember it (except some of the physical appearances - they've upgraded)! The teachers here are amazing. I can say that because I still know quite a few of them. And the environment is really great. They've revamped a lot of the school from the days I attended school there and everything looks amazing and modern, but comforting at the same time. It's a great school!

Nowadays they focus way too much on safety and take out anything that could be remotely dangerous.. I guess that's a sigh of relief for parents but kids just want to play. Now the park has been completely modified. It's much smaller and they have taken out all the best things, like the giant tires, and replaced them with swings and other boring stuff. The school does have a huge playground though, with a few soccer fields and baseball diamond. It's great for anyone that likes to organize their own games with their friends on the weekends.

I enjoyed Old Scona's academic focus and the knowledge and the support of the wonderful staff. They have been working on renovations and the general appearance of the school has greatly improved in recent years. The number of students at Old Scona means that you know everyone's name, and it also increases the number of opportunities available per student. Come to Old Scona if you want a challenge and you are willing to push yourself academically. You'll meet people who have diverse foci but are united by the desire to achieve. There is no official or unofficial dress code, since it is mostly unnecessary. It's a very safe school: there is no safety patrol. The students trusted each other enough that they leave lockers unlocked. The running joke was that you could leave your laptop, phone, and wallet out, but only your graphing calculator would be 'borrowed'. I really enjoyed my years at Old Scona. It's a wonderful place!
