  About Toronto

 


Braemar is a close-knit, caring, student-centered school where students receive unmatched attention and support. Better put, we are a family.

This is not just talk; it’s a defining characteristic of our school.

And it shows. We greet students when they arrive at the airport and take them to their homestay. A welcome-pack includes a phone card so they can call their family that same day. All new students are invited to a Welcome to Canada dinner, in which they celebrate as our guest with teachers and other students.

We accompany students to help open bank accounts. We ensure—along with homestay families—that students know how to find their way around on public transportation.

We draw up a detailed study-plan to make sure all our students have what they need to achieve their goals. Follow-up guidance meetings ensure students remain on-target. Parents are kept informed of their child’s attendance and progress.

Our students enjoy special events—the famous Ice Cream Days. Birthday parties are celebrated. Halloween is a tradition, as is our annual Christmas Party.

Our graduation ceremony is lavish—with music, drama, dancing, and lots of food.

We facilitate applications to colleges and universities, as well as all scholarship applications. We assist with visa extensions. We help students returning to their home countries to have their transcript notarized at their consulate.

The list goes on. But this is simply part of being a family. And, of course, all this—all of it--is at no extra cost.


Being part of a family is very nice—but what practical advantages does Braemar offer?

Here is a comparison of Braemar with a regular public school. Incidentally, the annual tuition of an average public school is approximately $3,000 CAD more.
