OSSD Credit Course registration for 2021 is ongoing.
We chose ACADECAP for a variety of reasons, many of which are unique to this school. We like that extracurricular activities like Jiu-Jitsu and Violin are simply part of their school day, leaving evenings and weekends for family time. We feel that the small class size makes a big difference in our children’s learning experience and allows for a more individualized approach. We appreciate having before and after school care at the school, which minimizes disruption to everyone’s day. The hot lunch program offered through the school is amazing and demonstrates yet another aspect of the school’s holistic approach. The kids obviously love the school and often need to be convinced to come home each afternoon.
