Why Parents

Choose WIC

We were drawn to the school's reputation and absolutely loved our visit and tour. We felt the programming would make learning and school enjoyable for our child during such a vulnerable stage in a young person’s life. Navigating junior high and friendships can be challenging, but we felt the resources and programs at WIC would be a perfect fit for our daughter.Current WIC Parents

WIC has given us peace of mind as we see the difference it is making in our child, even though this is only her first year. We enjoy the opportunity to discuss our child’s future opportunities with the knowledgeable counsellors at the school. We had a seamless admissions process as we were provided with all the information we needed to make our decision. WIC is truly a wonderful community to be a part of.Current WIC Parents
Class of 2025

Teachers at our previous school recommended WIC's French Immersion program, and it turned out to be a perfect fit for our family. I appreciated the balance it offered, allowing our children to start learning math and science in English, which I felt was especially important for their high school experience.Current WIC Parents
