The quest for the perfect private school education for many families usually begins with a visit to one of the Our Kids Private School Expos held across Canada yearly. BC families are no exception. With well over 500 people in attendance at the Vancouver show, many of the exhibiting schools were at times, overwhelmed with parents looking to have their questions answered!
The fourth Private School Expo of 2011 is coming soon to Vancouver. The Westin Bayshore in downtown Vancouver will play host to the annual Vancouver Private School Expo on November 27th of this year, from 12 noon to 4 pm. Schools from across British Columbia will be present at the expo as well as boarding schools from around the world.

February is the shortest month of the year, and it sure felt like it this time around. But while parents are still occupied with the day-today bustle, kids have been patiently awaiting the month of March and what it will bring: plenty of puddles to splash in, green cookies on St. Patrick’s Day, and the Holy Grail – March Break! A whole week off school to frolic, play, and burn off all that energy built up since the Winter Holidays with a fun-filled schedule that their parents haven planned for them weeks in advance. Right? Unfortunately many parents across Canada aren’t usually as diligent at counting down the days as their kids, so March Break can sneak up suddenly. But hopefully we can help. Here are our picks for fun activities for kids and the family during the March Break in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.
For the month of November staff members of the Eaton Arrowsmith Schools in Vancouver and Victoria have embraced “Movember” by growing moustaches and raising funds in support of prostate cancer research. To date staff at both schools has raised over $900.00 toward this cause. On Friday November 25th the students got involved, and many…boys and girls alike… wore fake moustaches to show their support of their male teachers and the greater cause.
