Gr. 10 to Gr. 12 (current) — Crestwood is a great school. There are so many sports that are offered and a lot of fun activi... The Leadership at Crestwood is the best that I have experienced so far. I came from a public school where we did not even know who our guidance counsellors were. Here at Crestwood, the Headmaster's door is always open for a ... The teachers at Crestwood explain exactly what they expect of each student depending on the student's grade. Of course, you are expected to do more work if you are in grade 12 as opposed to grade 9 or 10, but that just comes ... The academics are good. Everything I have done has been just right. The work was neither hard nor easy and if it was ever kind of hard like I said above, the teachers are here daily to help me with my success. If I needed m... Crestwood students are kind, funny and work together to make the school what it is. If you were a student coming to visit for the first time, a Crestwood student would notice and come right up to you and ask if you needed hel... I would first take them to our gym. This is my favourite place that everyone should visit. Why? I say this because it really shows so much about Crestwood. When you walk in and look up at the walls you can see how many succ... As a grade 12 student, I go off campus daily for lunch. The immediate area has so many great food places and or hang-out places for my friends and me. The location is great because I can get anything I need and it has improv... Well I came from a private school and there was no admission process when I went to grade 9 but when I came to Crestwood I did take some tests which were fine. After I took the test I had a great tour of the school and was ab... |

Starting high school at a brand new school, not knowing many people, and being one of the young... I do think that the school leadership is one to be respected. They are such prominent figures in the school and nothing would really happen without them. I do think that if the head of leadership such as the principals and tea... For the most part, the teachers at Crestwood are pretty amazing. I feel as though they do ask for a lot from you, but this is mostly because they know you can do it. I hear stories from friends at other schools about their tea... I think Crestwood students would have differing opinions on the workload. It truly depends on what grade and what courses you take. For me, I do find the work quite difficult in some courses. Although sometimes it is super fru... I think that the school is very diverse when it comes to the types of students. People come from everywhere which shows you intriguing Crestwood is. The majority of the students are from the city but there are also a lot that ... In terms of the look and layout of our school it isn’t necessarily intending compared to some other private schools i’ve been to! But I think the school build itself doesn’t really matter. But, If i was to take someone o... The school location is in a great place in my opinion. There is a plaza right across the street with many food options. When students get their license there are also so many plazas that are within driving distance that offer ... I had an experience in my application process that was a lot different from many other Crestwood students. But, I do remember the process of learning I was going to the school was quite exciting. I went on a shadow day, where ... |

I think the spirit is good, more can be done to get all the students involved, e.g.: prep rally before the season opener basketball game, getting more students involved in supporting their sports teams.

The school is convenient and easily accessible, the neighbourhood is good and my daughters always venture into the neighbourhood and feel very safe. Crestwood is in a good neighbourhood and my daughters never had any issues. ... Getting my daughters into Crestwood was easy but not a lot of follow-up once they were in, more communication would have need appreciated, e.g.: books, timetables, and important dates, all before school starts.
For my young... The guidance councillor was great starting in September with the seniors, ensuring they are aware of what needs to be done for university.
Maybe more university guidance starting in Grade 9 would be helpful as many students d... |

As someone who was in the public school system before coming to Crestwood, I didn't see a huge difference in the actual quality of teaching, which isn't a bad thing per se as I had very positive experiences in the YRDSB. What ... As I said, I didn't see a huge difference in the actual teaching or academics between my public schools and Crestwood, but that is not a bad thing. Now at 27 and quite frankly even in university, I recognized how many students... My grade was incredible and the entire school knew that.

I found the test to be very appropriate and not something that I felt I needed to study for. This i... This is an area that I didn't really take advantage of because I was so tunnel-focused on going to Quest, which was an alternative university. I did, however, learn about the school from one of my teachers who had heard about ... |
