I'm sorry but most of these reviews are BS. This is a terrible school, there is a reason why all the teachers and principals keep quitting and there is a different 'director' every year. My childs math teacher quit in the middle of the school year, and then he just didn't have math for weeks or months. The academics at this school are terrible. The staff is very unprofessional. DONT LISTEN TO THE GLOWING REVIEWS OF THIS SCHOOL. it is all lies.

I've taught at Western for 6 years now (we've only been open for 7 years) and I can say that we are a group of teachers and admin who really care about the students in their care and work incredibly hard to help them achieve success in the post secondary world.
