We have been lucky two years in a row to enjoy 1st and 2nd grade in this school with whom I consider the best teacher ever! She's young, energetic, full of enthusiasm and ideas! Always approaching every teachable moment (curriculum and interactions) with a positive attitude that is contagious. Miss Wood creates a classroom of encouragement that every child takes on in their life. Patting each other on the back after correct answers, encouraging patients as they work to figure out answers and on the playground when they encounter conflict with kids from other classrooms. Like I said, we have been extremely lucky to have had Miss Wood as Looping teacher two years in a row.

Beautiful school, just opened a few years ago. Caring and attentive teachers. I have three kids, all very different, and all thrived here. There’s a GATES program and plenty of challenges for the academic-oriented. There is a no-bullying policy and it is very effective. They start socio-emotional learning young and continually reinforce it. Scarborough’s winning sports teams start here, and whether you’re into serious travel teams or just want to play intramurals to learn something new, the opportunities abound. (Also plenty of coaching opportunities for parents.)School has excellent security and parental communications. The principal is amazing! Teachers vary, but you can always switch to find the best fit. Also home to the world-famous Gym Dandies, where hundreds of kids gave learned to juggle, ride unicycles (at the same time) and more circus arts. Whatever activity is your passion, after school clubs at Wentworth can help you realize it.
