My three children have schooled at Jonathan for one year and we’ve had the best experience. We’ve had very supportive admin and teachers who always reached out to us and let us know what’s happening in the school. My kids loved this school too and one day we’ll be back to Jonathan. The intercultural specialist was such a wonderful person too connecting with families even during the summer to link us to community resources for our kids.

Great experience with strong academics, thoughtful leadership, and a community that truly supports kids. I have two students currently in 2nd grade and kindergarten at VES - both have attended this school since preschool (age 3). We've had a very positive experience at Victoria Elementary. The school is high performing but what stands out to me is how they get there - it is intentional, consistent, and well-led, not just driven by test scores. Academically, expectations are clear and appropriate. There’s a good balance of pushing students while still supporting them, and you can tell there are systems in place to make sure kids are progressing. It doesn’t feel chaotic or reactive, it feels structured in a way that works.The teachers have been a highlight for us. They’re engaged, communicative, and genuinely invested in the kids. We’ve always felt like our child is known as an individual, not just another student in the classroom. That goes a long way.Leadership also seems strong and steady. There’s a clear tone of high expectations paired with support, and it shows up in the overall culture of the school. Things run smoothly, communication is solid, and there’s a general sense that the school is well-managed.The parent community is another strength. Families are involved and supportive, and there’s a shared value around education that creates a really positive environment for kids.I also appreciate that there’s attention to social-emotional development alongside academics. It’s not just about performance, it’s about helping kids build confidence and navigate relationships.This is a school that delivers both academically and culturally, and we’ve felt very good about our experience.

My son has been attending WLS for 3 years now. I have watched him grow so much. He had been so bored and underchallenged in a typical elementary school setting before. WLS has pushed him to grow ahead of his grade level in math, spelling and reading. This school has also surrounded him with unconditional love, personalized support, and the comfort to be himself. He looks forward to going every day!

My son is thriving here. The other day, he said, "I think I was born to speak Spanish." He loves learning about Spanish culture, geography and of course, the language. He is a gifted learner and the Spanish immersion gives him an extra challenge, which keeps his interest. Staff noticed his shyness and put him a social skills building group, which is helping him make friends and build confidence.
