Parents consistently praise the school for its 'tight-knit' community and the 'nurturing' environment provided by small class sizes and dedicated teachers. The IB program is highly regarded for preparing students for university, though some parents note the workload is heavy. Admissions are described as very competitive, with waitlists common for intake years (JK, K, Gr 1, 4, 6, 8, 11). Some reviews mention the high cost of attendance, including significant one-time enrollment fees, and a student body that is predominantly from affluent backgrounds.
