- Date of Review
February 27, 2026 - Child 1
Gr. 7 (Male, Current Day Student)
(5) Student Experience
As our son began middle school and started preparation for high school, he was eager to embrace new experiences and opportunities for growth. After his trial day, it was clear he felt a strong connection to the school, despite not knowing anyone. From day one, he has felt welcomed, supported, and included. The warmth of the community and the care shown by staff and students made his transition seamless and gave him an immediate sense of belonging. It has been amazing to see our son’s confidence blossom, especially in how eagerly he now steps outside his comfort zone to embrace new opportunities. Watching him flourish academically and socially at Fern Hill has been wonderful. The school’s nurturing community has helped him truly shine.
