Broadfording

There are genuinely so many things wrong with this school, but my biggest concern is the staff. I don't even know where to begin.The staff at Broadfording seem incredibly careless and often act more like friends with the students than the adults responsible for maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment. They did not adequately address the bullying my daughter and some of her classmates experienced, even though it happened in front of teachers and was reported to the administration multiple times.They also failed to address the way some students spoke about their classmates in hurtful and disrespectful, and sometimes disgusting ways, in different languages. Just because something isn't said in English doesn't mean it should be ignored.I don't even want to get started on the guidance counselor or student life director, or whatever he calls himself. You would think that someone with a title like that would be focused on supporting students, listening to their concerns, and helping resolve problems. This man would Instead, brush aside the bullying she faced, tell her that he'll handle it, and little meaningful action was taken. In my opinion, I think he can't do his job properly because he's too busy "talking" and joking around with the underaged girls at the school acting like a manchild. - words from my daughter whose seen it.My daughter also witnessed and experienced racist behavior from some international students, as well as from a few teachers. These incidents were either ignored or not taken seriously, despite being brought to the school's attention. A school should have zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind, and it was deeply upsetting to see such behavior go unaddressed.After everything my daughter experienced, I cannot recommend this school to other parents. We expected a school that would provide a safe, respectful, and genuinely supportive environment, but that was not our experience. While the school identifies itself as a Christian school, we did not see the compassion, accountability, or integrity that those values should reflect in the way my daughter was treated. I sincerely hope the administration takes these concerns seriously and makes meaningful changes, because no student should have to endure what my daughter experienced.

We moved here in the summertime and my two daughters were very excited to go to Heritage Academy. One thing I have noticed was the wonderful community we feel when we are there. I’ve started subbing there so I feel that I have a unique outlook and get to see different teachers who have all done a fantastic job! I was especially impressed with Preschool. Woah Mrs Jackson is extremely patient and I see the children learning and enjoying said learning! They just had the Christmas concert when I am writing this and it was absolutely wonderful! The whole night was a huge success and heart-warming!
