Bells Mill is a great community of young learners and I'm pleased with my experiences here. I do think the students can be a bit sheltered.

BMES provides top-notch public education. BMES helped develop an effective IEP for our child's ADHD and speech delay, while nourishing his talents for math, reading, and music. Teachers, counsellors, and administrators are all excellent.

I have sent two children through Bells Mill. It is a WONDERFUL school. My children are happy and engaged. There is a strong spirit of community. I don't think I would ever be able to move out of this school cluster because the public schools are so good.
