Northern Parent Testimonials
“Being gifted at Northern has increased my child’s level of interest and engagement in school- this difference was noted immediately in grade 9. My child’s previous French immersion school was excellent, but the level of discussion and greater depth in exploration of topics in gifted has been critical in maintaining interest.”
“For [our son’s] social and emotional well-being we very much appreciate the gifted program in general, his experience at a private international school in the meanwhile didn’t do him justice. Academically the gifted learners at that age still seem to prefer being in an environment that supports their special needs. He’s happy at Northern and this is most important!”
“Our son is now in grade 10 and is developing very well at Northern. His circle of friends increased substantially after he joined Northern and found many like-minded peers.”
“As a parent of 2 gifted children, one who also has ADHD and Sensory Processing Disorder, the gifted program has been important to us in terms of social integration and academic challenge.”
