Students are saying:
Melissa F.
A Private High School Graduate
“As a Grade Learning student, I found that the students are so friendly and the teacher are very nice. Also, when you come to school every day, you feel warmth and happiness the same as when you are at home. The class sizes are small, therefore you will learn more in here, too. The teachers really care about all of us. Besides, we have lunch party every month and we have lots of fun in it. As an international student in Canada, sometimes we may feel lonely. But the teachers care about us and are friendly all the time. At the end, I am so proud that I am a student of Grade Learning .”
Cici L.
A Private High School Graduate
“It is good for students to choose Grade Learning. Teachers are nice and friendly and they are always patient with students. The school provides good, positive learning environment. Guidance office is very helpful and they often encourage and support new comers to do better work. There are monthly activities, such as Lunch Parties where we have fun and get to know each other better. Teachers of the school make students become more confident and independent in their studies, students have fun and are at the same time encouraged to study and do their best. I would recommend Grade Learning to anyone, it is the best way for you to study.”
Jessica Z.
A Former Private High School Student
“As a student of Grade Learning, I find the learning environment friendly and I learnt a lot. With such small class sizes, the teacher was able to give me more attention and therefore I did better and understood the material much more. Every staff member is always happy to help and I’ve had other teachers give me a hand in my work. I’d recommend anyone to Grade Learning, knowing that they will receive the knowledge they need to be successful.”
Joanne H.
A Former Private High School Student
“Grade Learning is an amazing school. All the teachers and staff are friendly and always have a smile on their face. There is a comfortable learning atmosphere and the teachers really work hard to teach us. So far the experience of being a student here is fantastic and I can’t wait to come back tomorrow and the day after that.”
Alex Y.
A Former Private High School Student
“Grade Learning is an awesome school for us to enjoy. With everyone like family members, it is very heart warming. In Grade Learning, everyone treats other respectfully and like family members by having lunch meals together, joking around and etc. I myself very enjoy this school for how nice the teachers are and no matter what happen they are always so understanding and they teaches us with all their heart. There is no other school I want to be other then Grade Learning.”
Glenn
Continuing Education Student
“I’ve been a student at this school for over three months and I have learned a lot of things here such as Math, English, History and Typing. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here so far at Grade Learning. After a slow start, getting back into school, I think I have finally settled into the routine.
My time here at Grade Learning so far has been a pleasure. My teacher has been more than helpful in answering any questions that I might have. Miss Harvinder is a very pleasant person and always has a cheery greeting for me every morning, which is a great way to start off the day.
My experience with Grade Learning is very positive: the atmosphere is very comfortable and not intimidating. I would recommend Grade Learning to anyone who wants to enhance their education level. I still have three months more to go in my program and I look forward to coming to school every day and learning more.”
Oscar
ESL Student
“My name is Oscar, and I am a mature student; it is never too late to learn something. It is good for students to choose Grade Learning. Students and teachers are nice and friendly and they are always patient to help each other. The school provides a good, positive learning environment. The staff is very helpful and they encourage and support new students to do better. In my first month at Grade Learning, I surprised myself on how well I am doing. It has been many years since I have done any formal learning. So far, with help from the instructor, my experience has been good and enjoyable. The small classroom size has helped me a lot with returning to school. I enjoy coming each day and look forward to rest of the course. I am thankful to be at Grade Learning.”
Vysal
Continuing Education Student – Academic Upgrading Program
“Grade Learning Downsview is an amazing school. All the teachers and staff are very friendly and I have learned a lot of English and Math. Our class size is small; all students are always respectful and friendly to each other. Especially my teacher, she is always helpful to every student in class. Now I have confidence of my reading and writing in English better than before. I recommend Grade Learning if you want to be successful in your future.”
Joseph
Private Career College Graduate – Security Officer Diploma
Joseph came to Grade Learning with the goal of becoming a Security Guard. He had been a driving instructor but had become self-employed out of necessity when his company restructured.
“Everyone was very helpful and professional and I have learned so much. My teacher was awesome and full of information and he made learning interesting. My training there has helped me upgrade my knowledge in learning about effective communication, the legal system, the criminal code, and first aid emergencies. It’s impacted my life by helping me to look at security in a whole different way and now I have a great respect for security issues and security guards. Now I can enter my chosen career with understanding and knowledge in the field of security. I would recommend Grade Learning not only for what they have done for me but also from what I’ve learned from other students about their experiences at Grade Learning. There are also many different programs offered at Grade Learning.”
Joanne Conrad
Private Career College Student – Medical and Clinical Office Assistant Diploma
“In my first month at Grade Learning, I have surprised myself on how well I am doing. It has been many years since I have done any formal learning and thought I would be struggling in trying to understand the program. So far, with help from the instructors, my experience has been good and enjoyable. The small classroom size has helped me a lot with returning to school. I enjoy coming each day and look forward to the rest of the course.”
Sandy Bartlett
Private Career College Student – Executive Administrative Office Diploma
“My time at Grade Learning has been such a positive experience. I’ve learned so much in such a short time . I look forward to coming to school every single day, which is such a surprise considering my anxiety at [the thought of] going back to school at my tender age! My instructors have made this experience smooth for me and the other students, they are patient and caring. They will find different ways of explaining things so I understand and I appreciate them so much. I’m grateful to Grade Learning and the awesome staff for everything.”
