(4.5) Alum, Barbara Barclay (2018) I attended RLC in the 90's, for grades 9-13 (OAC) and had a wonderful experience. The dorm exp... I had some good administration at the school. Our headmaster, was firm, but friendly, our head of academics was amazing, and always encouraged us to push ourselves to achieve greater things, The administration was respec... The teachers were fantastic, engaging, both formal and informal and were quite knowledgeable. I had three english teachers during my time at the school, all of whom were able to make Shakespeare fun, poetry interesting, a... During my years of attendance, the only weakness I can really attribute to RLC is that there were very few specialized programs available, such as music or dramatics, or technical programs such as drafting. Though with suc... Having the ability to canoe/sail/ cross country ski etc is quite great. We had a mandatory sports program during my attendance at Rosseau Lake College, that required the students to join one sport per term. There was a "ge... During my years of attendance, there were under 120 students at RLC. This was awesome, as you got to know everyone quite well, class sizes were smaller etc. The general atmosphere was quite friendly and inclusive, and all s... I hated parts of my first year, as I started part-way through the year and felt very awkward, and like I didn't belong. Some of that was coming partway through the year, where existing friendships are already established, but... Parents were involved, and could always choose to be more involved, we always roped a few into events like the "out-trips", and parents can sit on the parent board/committee. Alumni communications, I keep in touch with quite ... Located in the village of Rosseau, there are very few "off campus" options, other than the General Store for the students. The village is quite small, and quite a distance from the next major town/city. The school has a ... I do not know the current standards for admission. The admission standards during my attendance were not stressful, I do not recall any discussions, though my parents may have provided my transcripts. I was skipping cla... University applications/programs and processes were reviewed with the students, and all applications were submitted on time, and many of us received early acceptance to our first choice universities.

The teachers as I said before, really seem like they care about you and not the work that you turn in. They make you feel like you are part of something amazing, Which is exactly what you are a part of if you come to RLC. They... I think that if the teachers are asking too much of you they are always ok if you point it out for them so that they can learn better as a teacher. They will always let you know what they expect from an assignment or from you ... I think that the high school program in general is pretty good, but the 7/8 program can be improved. You see, 7th grade and 8th grade is just one class mixed together. They teach us the same things to both grades. There's a re... I take part of the drama club, the dance club and used to be in the field hockey team, but now I am in the volleyball team. I really love the after school clubs because they are really well taught by passionate teachers. The ... At RLC the students that have been here more years than you ( if you are new) will always make sure you feel inclusive, you know where you're going, you don't sit alone at lunch, and they will always be there for you if you ha... Dining Hall: Where we eat all of our meals and we have our morning assemblies. Dungeon/ Gym: Here is where students can work out in their free time and where waves and fitness ( one of our sport options) is held. It is locat... The school definitely feels like a second family to me, all the teachers really care about you and the students are always there for you if you are having a bad time. Here, you build incredible friendships that you will rememb... The school is in this really interesting town called Rosseau. I love living in such a small town, because we can just go out after school and go to the general store, or go to the bakery to get pizza, or to Crossroads on a Sun... So the first thing that you do is a test that they send out and you have to print it and fill it out. After that, you will be interviewed in skype by an RLC staff member. He asks you a couple of questions about what you like t...	all_reviews student	1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,
