Reviews of Kanata Academy Private School (Kindergarten)

Kyler Bouzane

I graduated from KA and I am really glad I transferred there in Grade 10. I would never be where I am right now if I hadn't. I was not doing well at public school and now I am at Ottawa U in Business at Telfer. I needed the small classes and the help I didn't receive from my old school.

The last two years have been the best experience for us and we feel will be invalueable for our future.

Life changing for our son who struggled in the regular school environment. The small class size allows for individual attention to help your child excel and meet their full potential! In one year, we saw his grades go from mostly low Bs and Cs to almost all As. Amazing staff! We love that the brand new facility located on Huntmar Drive has also allowed KA to extend their program into high school!

Kanata Academy was a complete blessing to my family. Both my children struggled in the board and their IEP accommodations were not being met. The teaching staff was phenomenal and my son and daughter graduated with all the tools needed for post secondary. Their post secondary experience has been amazing because of the strong support provided by the teachers and staff.

Kanata Academy is one of the few schools that teaches kids at a very high academic standard while at the same time the outstanding teachers and staff teach them to be kind and caring citizens. This contributes to stronger communities and a better world!

Enrolling my son at Kanata Academy has been a wonderful experience that has significantly helped guide him on his learning journey

I would not be the person I am today without the loving support of Kanata Academy.

We love Kanata Academy. My kids are going to Kanata Academy for past two years and we are extremely happy that we switched to this school. My kids not only thriving academically but they are more confident, secure and more responsible. This is the best investment you can do in your child's future. They have zero tolerance against bullying and I think this is the only School where you can see practically implementing this policy. My kids are excited to go to School and talk about School all day on Saturdays and Sundays :), because they miss there other 'Family' which is "Kanata Academy" :).

Kanata Academy is a wonderful school where the principle and all the teachers communicate with the parents on the daily basis and the kids are inspired and motivated by their teachers and peers everyday. As a parent, I don't have to worry about bullying and get to focus on what new potentials and dreams my kids discover as they grow and learn at KA.

High price, poor results, the lazy older teachers will essentially expel your child if it’s too much work for them.

This is the best school I have ever been to. My brother and I have both went here and wouldn’t have been able to do as well as we did without the support from all the teachers. I have been to many different schools and never recieved my accommodations that I needed and Kanata Academy was the first school to give me all the tools I need.

Attended their 2018 summer camp. Young stuff is not caring and incompetent in what they do. They let children watch cartoons on a laptop twice a day while browsing the web themselves. Kids stay closed inside on a good weather, while school having new backyard playground. Educative part is ridiculous up to the point of showing videos where person reads the book, instead of reading it themselves. We planned to start the first grade next year but changed our mind after attending the camp. We were surprised to find out the place where administrative stuff is lacking basic communication skills and disrespect to the clients when you bring their attention to what is going on. In summary a money making facility with lazy stuff under the ‘private school’ umbrella. The only good thing for Kanata residents is proximity. Don’t read all those reviews that they write themselves. Talk to people and confirm information in this review. Find the better place for your children, they deserve more.

Kanata Academy is a place where children are challenged, encouraged and supported, not only to be their best academically, but also as members of the community. A school: -Where the older kids look out for, inspire and teach the younger kids -Where teachers go above and beyond to create a challenging yet happy learning environment -Where the community of parents, teachers and kids work hard to make things work -Where respect and kindness are shown -Where each student feels that they are a part of the school - Where bullying is not tolerated KA is a very good school and I would highly recommend it.

Our daughter has attended Kanata Academy for four years. She completed two years of Nursery School, junior kindergarten, and senior kindergarten. Throughout these early years, she received a combination of academics, physical activity, social interaction and loving care that allowed her to thrive. Kanata Academy has a ‘whole child’ focus and our daughter was enjoyed karate, skating, science seminars, social awareness activities, concerts, field trips and more. She was lucky enough to have had many years with a truly special JK/SK teacher whose enthusiasm and talent in teaching young children is evident every day. Our daughter became ill at the end of her senior kindergarten year and only received 100 hours of home instruction for grade one. Despite receiving 1/10th of the school hours of a typical grade one student, our daughter is now reading at a grade 3 level. We attribute her continued academic success to the solid educational foundation provided by Kanata Academy prior to her illness. We have received such support and feel truly grateful that our daughter was attending a special place like Kanata Academy when the unthinkable happened. The Kanata Academy community of teachers, staff, students, and parents supported our family in a way only a small, close knit school could do. We are looking forward to being back amongst our community as our daughter goes back for grade 2.

Both children went to Kanata Academy for 8+ years. The teachers and staff did an excellent job in preparing them for high school. Both are now in public high schools and doing extremely well. The class room sizes were always small enough for the children to get lots of personal attention. The Before and After school programs were instrumental in establishing great homework and study habits. My favorite part of this experience was leaving work early and going on the ski trips to Mt. Pakenham with both kids. Update. Son graduated from Carleton university in engineering in 2017. He was awarded the University Medal as top standing student in engineering and is headed to University of Toronto for a PhD in electrical engineering. Daughter is also graduated from Carleton. She studied Computer Science and Psychology. She too received the Gold Medal as top standing student in computer science in 2020. Very happy with love of learning that began at Kanata Academy

Our family has been apart of the Kanata Academy (KA) community for almost 7 years now. The school has always met the learning needs of both of our children. Our son is a proud graduate of KA. His teachers helped him to believe in his abilities and he has continued to go on and earn top grades - thanks in large part to the study skills and care that the KA teachers showed him. Our daughter is continuing to thrive in the KA learning environment. She loves the small class sizes and the individual attention she receives. Like her brother, she is also earning top grades. The principal and vice-principal take an active role in getting to know the students and have an open door policy. We feel very fortunate that we found this school and have been able to give our children a solid education in a caring and nurturing environment.
