The View From Here

“Greenwood is a school based off of its strong sense of community. It encourages youths to grow, take the initiative, and inspire others to do the same. For me, Greenwood is a place where I can learn not just in the classroom, but through the experiences and friends I make along the way.”
- Miranda Rogovein, student

“I really like that Greenwood isn’t all about the academic. When I was looking into schools to work at, I really felt that the development of the “whole” child was what Greenwood was all about. From athletic endeavours to artistic ones; from community service to outdoor education; from differentiated learning to adviser programs… all of it seemed to speak to the graduation of a child who is well-rounded, versus a fact-filled robot.”
- Laura Little, faculty

“I absolutely loved it. I got to experience so many things that I wouldn’t have if I was at another school. I loved the outdoors aspect and the community feel at the school. I only went there two years but I felt like I fit in quite well. I met so many great people, the teachers were great and the experience, again, was completely amazing.”
- Amanda Blanford, alumna

“It was everything I needed from a school in terms of academics, student life and student-teacher relationships.”

“Coming from another country, my family and I didn’t know much about the schools in Toronto. We asked a family friend to check out schools for us, and she told us about Greenwood. We looked into it and realized that it was the right fit for my sister and I. It has everything we looked for in a school and more.”
- Katrina von Hahn, student

“The teaching, learning and community-oriented philosophy of Greenwood was consistent with my approaches. I wanted to be involved in the building and evolution of the school.”
- David Moritsugu, faculty

“Drama. Everything about it is something to look forward to. The connection that the whole group shares is one that I will miss for years to come. It’s a place to unwind in a school environment.”
- Peter Oundjian, student

“It’s pretty hard to choose! I’d have to say it’s a tie between Visual Arts and Classical Civilizations. They are both amazing courses, and I’m very glad I took them!”
- Miranda Rogovein, student

“Calculus / Exercise Science.”
- Dean Robinson, alumni

“During my first week at Greenwood, both Samantha Nutt from War Child and author Lawrence Hill came to speak. I remember thinking, “Yep. I’m really going to like it here…”
- April Robinson, staff

“Qualifying for OFSAA (Sr. volleyball). Any of my classes and any of the teachers. Nothing too specific. Greenwood itself is a nice memory.”
- Aaron William Loach, alumni
