I attended this school from Grade 2 thru to grade 5 (Mid 1980's). I was eventually expelled, as I was an energetic child that did not fit the elitist profile. Frankly I would suggest that any parent explore all options, before assuming that this Private institution would be best for the growth and development of their child.

Hi,My name is Hasnain Jaffari the son of this accounts user. I'd like to inspire people to go to Walden Oakville. Some people have there reasons for having HATE. But this school is better then YOU think. Today we learnt origami. It's was really fun we made a bat. And Also here's the funny part. In math my teacher marked something wrong but when SHE was wrong. I was like "Mrs Bejauoui I'm correct look" and she wrote on my math book opps you were correct XD and also another thing about the school is that this school actually has a play not the actually playing but by play when your up on stage performing but performing is in the very older grades. Back to basics parents can actually be teachers too! My best friend Charlotte Jones her mom is a teacher for I think SK Kindergarten. Anyways I hope this info helped you. Godforebid you have a respectful day.

My son started school in 2015 and he started off at this wonderful school. He loves going to school and enjoys every moment there. There is a lot of focus on discipline and behavior apart from the regular curriculum and that is one thing that appeals me. The staff takes great interest in regular communication with parents which helps parents to go hand in hand with the methods followed in school with regards to many aspects. We are very grateful to the entire Walden Team for their efforts!

A very lovely school. High standards. The staff are so professional and the teachers strive to help each child have the best learning experience possible. The environment is very encouraging, nurturing and a great school for any student...

This is a long review running through my honest experience. Great musicals every year. Every kid is believed to have talent and potential. Basically, anyone who wants to be in the show can be. They teach you acting, singing, dancing, and other stage stuff. Exceptional sets and props are put together for each annual show. Each show is spectacular and well run. Excellent athletic opportunities. They have x-country, football, soccer, ultimate frisbee, volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, track and field and 3 pitch. You can literally be on all the teams. You also don't have to be good at the sport.. they'll show you the ropes and all and give you the opportunity to become good or improve. The sports were the best part of my experience. Good people exist at this school. Class sizes are a bit small compared to public, but it can be good or bad depending on your perspective. You'll make friends! :) Qualified, respectful, compassionate, honest, trustworthy and intelligent teachers are hired here. They believe in you and believe that you can achieve a lot in your future. The school tries to offer a safe and fun learning environment for all! The curriculum is rigorous and thorough, but they offer a lot of help if you need it. You just need to ask and they'll arrange something! They have a STEAM program now which is pretty awesome. It'll prepare you for life nowadays. You learn a lot of useful skills that will prepare you for high school and other strands of life. In the upper grades, the science, English and math programs are particularly strong. Science you do dissections, cool experiments and other jazzy stuff. English you do speeches, grammar, essays, writing pieces, cursive, spelling etc. In math, you will become very prepared for high school. Basically, you don't need to worry about the academics at this school being lousy. They have a wide range of unique extra-curricular activities for students-band, choir, homework club, etc. They also do a lot of community and charity type things which is fun and fulfilling (ex. MetoWe). They do a lot of environmental stuff as well. They have a greenhouse and outdoor classroom to emphasize the importance of appreciating and learning about green life. They have a good afterschool care program with nice supervisors. They used to serve snacks... but that ended. :( They have a lot of new technology to help every student with their studies- Chromebooks, iPads, Smartboards, Smarttables etc. They have amazing overnight trips in the higher grades. I went to Ottawa in grade 5 for the band, A leadership weekend and Wildfire camp in grade 6, Fort George and Quebec in grade 7 and New Brunswick in grade 8. Like when is it that schools take you to all these cool places...pretty much never...except for here. The trips are so unique, great socially and are fun. You learn about Canada and the people around you so well. A lot of other private schools offer excessively expensive international trips and make it seem so much better then trips located in Canada. Canada has so much to offer and many kids these days don't realize that...they go to the Carribean, the Bahamas and Cuba. Yes, I will agree 100% those places are extraordinary. Unfortunately, we sometimes forget just how truly amazing our own country is. Through these trips and experiences, you get to learn about our culture, history and landscape/wildlife. They also offer a ton of leadership opportunities for all the students. From colour team captains to reading buddies, academic amigos, team captains, open house representative, stage manager, dance captains, the student government, lunch helpers and student coaching... there is literally an opportunity for every student and...if not you can make another one! Every child can benefit from this school. It is worth the money! The school offers and encourages a balanced school life through its academic support and extracurriculars.

My daughter is attending their Pre-K program. The teachers are amazing and caring. This is worth every penny! Send your child to this school if you are able to afford it. They deeply care about the children and their development as little people!

My daughter went to Glenburnie from Grade 5 to Grade 8. She was coming from a Public School, so the school had to work hard to help her catch up. The teachers would phone me and ask if they could keep my daughter after school to help her or if I could bring her early. In subjects where she needed extra help, the teachers went full force in helping her achieve the targets. With the unconditional support the school provided her, she was able to finish her graduate studies and was able to obtain employment six weeks before graduation. Thanks to the staff of Glenburnie for helping my daughter realize her potential and helping her achieve her goals.

My daughter just completed grade 4 at Walden International School in Brampton . She loved the IB program after being at a Montessori school for 3 years . Her teacher, Ms Gaber is amazing and surpassed all our expectations. All the teachers at the school are friendly and caring and my daughter loved the environment. We would recommend this school if you are looking for a quality education for your child .
