In my opinion, this school was an underwhelming experience that left me with underdeveloped…read morecritical thinking skills and struggling in high school. The school's French program was subpar for years after I graduated; I am unsure as to whether this has changed in recent years but when I went to the school, the teachers (we had a new one yearly) were unable to teach the material within the year. After I left the school, a friend of mine said that they were getting a new french teacher every term and that each one was just as unequipped to teach as the last. I struggled with French in high school and moved over to Spanish as a result. The school's music program caused me to develop bad habits that I only fixed in my later years of high school; my embouchure was awful (as my teacher had minimal knowledge of how to play my instrument) and the material we played was on par with "hot cross buns". They also required us to buy or rent (which was more expensive than buying in the medium term) the instrument we played; I ended up spending around $800 to play an instrument in primary school.. If I had not continued to play this instrument, this would have been a significant waste of money. The school prided itself on being a year ahead in science and two years ahead in math; this worked to my detriment as I became overconfident and barely passed math and sciences in high school. After I almost failed math and science in grade 7 (after moving to my new school), I lost all confidence and continued to do poorly. On top of this, I remember my science teacher telling us about the wonders of recycling. It has since been revealed that recycling was created by the plastics industry to give people the illusion that they had a way to avoid pollution due to plastic waste. Ever since China banned the importing of most plastics in 2017, Malaysia has taken up the burden of sorting our low-value plastics for pennies on the hour.. and this will is starting to stop as Malaysia has realized that being the world's dump is hurting their country. My point is that the teachers are uncritical and do very little research outside of creating their bare-bones curriculum. The teachers are used to children being as obedient and uncritical as them. They did not entertain any of our ideas and yelled at us when we did not fall in line. They did whatever was easiest and this included almost punishing me for allegedly pushing someone down the stairs, pinching someone on the back, and calling someone a nasty word within the span of a 30-minute lunch; I did not do any of this and if I had been more submissive, I would have been punished for actions I did not commit. When I was in high school, I posted a review similar to this one on their Facebook page. My parents told me that they were blackmailed into getting me to take the post down so I removed it. The main difference between that post and this post is that I did not claim anything to be my opinion.. (despite it being obvious that a Facebook review is an opinion). The teachers also have no problem with stealing and/or damaging the property of children (from what I saw). My friend's gummy art eraser (a $5 eraser) was thrown out because my teacher thought he had balled up his pencil shavings to create it. I had my tamogochi taken away and I only got it back when my mother yelled at the teacher the next day. These teachers do not care (in my opinion, as always); they want to do what is easiest and take home their meager salaries. This school is just a business.. nothing more. This has been an opinion piece.

My two sons attended RHMS. Both of them have very strong academic foundation…read more I highly recommend RHMS to all the parents who are looking for kids to have solid foundation. My older son is doing very well in a private high school and my younger son (who joined RHMS in grade 1) just got accepted to one of the most competitive schools in Toronto for grade 7. We could not be happier with RHMS.

The Early Learning Centre at Peoples Christian Academy has been a literal godsend to our family. We…read morevisited 12 daycare centres before selecting this one for our child. Genny and Jada, the leaders of the centre, are superbly organized, communicate well and have a love, care and patience with the children that I can only hope to emulate as a parent. The staff are wonderful as well. They are well-trained and experienced, watchful and caring. Our child was in Doreen and Stephanie's class, and we could see her positive social and language development grow in leaps and bounds. They also potty trained our toddler and gave us daily updates on their activities. The ELC has a structured program for the children with age-appropriate activities, and meals/snacks are provided. But most of all, they developed in my child the habit of praying for each other and getting to know God. I am so thrilled that we found their early learning centre; it takes a village to raise a child and I'm so glad ELC was a part of it! (Side Note: If you are interested in enrolling your child at the People's Christian Academy for grade school, the children attending their ELC have preliminary access to register for the spots available before it is opened to the public.)

Through play-based learning and academics, we work to provide a Christian Early Education program that will show God’s love through each area of learning and demonstrate that care to each child who participates in our program. Matthew 19:14 says “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” We believe that every child is a unique gift from God and that it is our responsibility and our privilege to offer every child that joins our program the highest level of care possible. It is through demonstrating God’s love for them in our daily activities and interactions that will provide these children with a safe and loving environment in which they will explore, learn and grow. Not only will we provide the necessities of being fed, clothed and sheltered but also a multitude of experiences in learning that will allow their minds to imagine, explore, discover and learn. Proverbs 22:6 - “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”

Everything has changed since then, she has started hating the school. The online program was atrocious, as most of the teachers came to their meetings in hair curlers, facemasks, and Pajamas. They had just woke up and came to their meetings. The content of the curriculum was very much behind. I learned all of it in grade one. We hate the whole program and are moving her to Tall Pines School, it has been reccomended to us by fellow yelpers. We'll keep you updated on how it goes!
