Our son went to Fraser Academy from Grade 3 to Grade 12.... our experience at the school was exceptional.... from day one he, as well as us, his parents, received both the academic and emotional support that we needed for him to excel in all areas of his education. He graduated over 10 years ago from Fraser Academy... attended university and now is an elementary school teacher there.
My son lives with ADHD & Dyslexia. In public school he struggled to keep up with the rest of the class. Placing a pencil in his hand and asking him to write was akin to torture, as it challenged both his ADHD and dyslexia simultaneously. He would suffer from anxiety nightly at the thought of returning to school the next day. Fraser Academy changed all of that. Within a month of attending Fraser, his attitude towards school has done a 180. And within a year he was writing beyond his grade level. The teachers and staff have all proved to be incredible. The price is steep, and writing a tuition cheque is painful, but you get the quality you pay for, and the peace of mind of knowing your child won't be left behind.
We attended Fraser for 2 years. The teachers were constantly turning over and told me to my face in from of their superiors, that they could only teach to the majority of the class and not to the individual IEPs. Contrary to the poster in their elevator. There was only 5 kids in the classroom, how can you not accommodate to the 2 anxious children not learning? Meeting with teachers were spent comforting them as they always seemed on the verge of panicking. Technology was denied to my child despite his Phycologists note. They insisted my Anxious child perform in from of the whole school even though it meant he had to miss months of school due to his anxiety, and us having meetings about it. Plus he was bullied every single day brutally until he became depressed. My child’s education feel horribly behind at Fraser. They will sell you something and never deliver.
Fraser is the worst school I've ever been to. While at Fraser I would hate going to school. The staff didn't help since they gave me wrong advice on what classes to take for the program I wanted to go into in university. Due to Fraser's advice, I was not able to get into the program I wanted because after I left Fraser I realized that I didn't have some of the prerequisites to get into the courses I wanted. The people running the school are delusional and will fire anyone who even thinks about giving an argument that doesn't completely agree with what they think. Tutoring at Fraser is also useless and the majority of my grade at least, never went to tutoring since it was more useful to do homework for classes that actually mattered. If Fraser had math tutoring it would be way more useful but in the state it is in right now, you would be better off just getting a tutor once or twice a week in the subject that your struggling in. Overall, Fraser Academy is a terrible school that is more concerned about their reputation then their students.
From the initial interview, to our 3rd year at Fraser Academy, we are beyond grateful to have found such a unique learning environment that allows our child to grow and learn and become all he can be. The head of school, admin, teachers and all support staff are top notch, genuine caregivers, who know how to reach children, meet them where they are at, and draw out their unique strengths. Highly recommend this Academy.
The admin team and the teachers at Fraser Academy are amazing. They do care about the kids and go out of their way to ensure the children's safety and overall well-being. Most grade 12 students at Fraser get accepted into fantastic university programs, and the percentage of students who do continue with post-secondary studies are much higher at Fraser Academy than most other similar schools in the province.
Our son is in his 3rd year at Fraser Academy and it has been nothing but a positive experience. Before attending FA, our son was nowhere close to reading a grade level, was extremely frustrated, and suffered greatly from low self esteem and social isolation in the public system. We noticed a significant change within a few months of attending FA. The teachers work hard to build confidence and skill sets for the students to take with them as they become more independent. We are always in awe of how engaged our 13 year old is in his school work and are so grateful to have found a school that cares so very much about these brilliant students who struggle to fit into the public stream. I would HIGHLY recommend Fraser Academy to any parent wising to offer their child a supportive experience where they can grow academically and beyond.
My son has attended Fraser Academy for the past 5 years and it has been everything of a positive experience that somehow has gotten better with each passing year! The Head of School, Department Heads, Teaching Staff and Supports are of high caliber and are excellent role models for the students that surround them each day. They approach teaching from A PERSPECTIVE THAT SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT IN ALL MAINSTREAM AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS. This school goes above and beyond in their quest to become better in everything they deliver and realize that it is actually the students who help make that happen. They don’t “teach at” their students; they “work with” them to accomplish grades and goals. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to offer my son the educational experience that Fraser Academy does.
Our Son attended Fraser Academy from grade 6-12. He is now working toward his kinesiology degree and stays in touch with many of his friends in universities across Canada, the U.S, and locally. Many of us make major financial sacrifices to send students here and wish there was more funding available, more locations and More Fraser! Specifically : amazing orton-gillingham tutors, engaging emotionally intelligent teachers who work very hard because they believe in what they do: literacy, composition, camps and regular field trips, arts, wood shop, physical education, outdoor ed, strong science and maths for those who are inclined, public speaking and engagement with technology, small classes, the realization that many people learn differently. Dyslexics are vibrant wonderful humans when they are not crushed in the classroom. Often they end up blooming and achieving great success in adulthood! The support offered during the developmental years has been worth all the sacrifice in our case. The teachers and staff here go out of their way to keep it real, focus on positives and generate results. Fraser is not perfect but no school is and it is filled with life and a variety of clubs and programs that enable each child to be supported as a whole person. Rather than hiding in the classroom and feeling like less... This school also allows parents to focus on their life and careers and gave us the freedom to enjoy and support our child rather than trying to teach him to read or write. I wish every parent with a child who is struggling could send their child to a place like this and that the province would pay for it!! Best to all.
Being trained in O-G with Fraser Academy has saved me teaching time from scrambling for online resources or going through basal reading programs to learn how to address my students with reading difficulties. My training is helping me tap into my own level of creativity with a multi-sensory approach that is much more brain-based. I'm realizing that "a program" isn't always the go-to resource for efficient literacy lessons. Sometimes the supplies and resources we take for granted are actually much more successful than investing in the "latest" and "newest" digital programs. I’m a much more resourceful teacher in finding simple tools to teach a concept that doesn't always involve fancy gadgets. For instance, using mini colour coded blocks to help a child spell and apply their knowledge of consonants and vowels has proven to be more engaging for a student than sitting in front of a computer or iPad. O-G should be a requirement for beginning teachers as it teaches the foundation of literacy.
