I love that the teachers get to know ALL of the students. Not just the students in the classroom. My kids love going to school and I love what they are learning and the caring environment they are in. The special education program is amazing too.

The counsellor is very good and will talk about anything with you. However, there is almost no sex Ed, and very few students ever take sex Ed classes in high school because many go to Catholic schools. The only things they talk about are abstinence-only, unrealistic options. Overall, health and safety is good.

We couldn't be happier with SPSL for our children (who are quite different in terms of abilities and interests)!
