Kitchener-Waterloo Private School Testimonials

Student Testimonials:

"I feel that the awareness I have gained over time is very important. If all people, especially youth, could be taught about everything I have learnt in this course, then this world would be a MUCH better place, full of peace and happiness."

Anita, HRT3M


"Thank you also for the opportunity to take a class important to my plans for next year that is not available in any form at my high school. If it interests you, my "dream" is to be a professional writer of novels and short stories. The work I have studied for this class, Findley's novel in particular, have convinced me even further that this is the path I wish to take. Thank you again for your praise, for your constructive feedback, and for every other way in which this course has benefited me."

Michael, ETS4U


"I appreciate your kind words and consideration. You really seem like a nice teacher. Your comments and thoughts are very intelligent. I thought it would just be anyone marking my work. But the way you have responded to my emails and my work ethic shows that you’re a good teacher. Thank you for the great advice and chance to redo my essay. To tell you the truth you’re even better than some of my day school teachers. It is very surprising that you are so helpful. It is very much appreciated."

Nalenee, ETS4U


"Thank you so much. It really has been a great experience, you really have the best intentions for your students - keep up the excellent work."

Christine, BTT20, BBI2O, CHV2O, GLC2O

"Your Canadian history course was more interesting and challenging and I got to pick my deadlines - and I learned a lot more than my friends who took the course in day school."

Annie, CHC2D


"I just wanted to let you know that I received my transcript and let you know what a wonderful experience I've had with VHS. This was the first time I've ever done an online course and it's worked out great. There was always someone to answer my questions or help with any problems I had. I would highly recommend VHS to anyone looking for an alternative way to get OSSD credits. I am hoping that I will be able to do more credits through VHS in the future. Thanks for a great experience."

Natalie, CHC2D


"I dropped my English course in my school due to the appalling illiteracy of my then teacher, and her perplexing insistence that postmodernism meant political vampire stories. I wish that I were joking about that! I figured anything would be better than that, as every day in that class took a month or two off my life. I visited the websites of each school on the list. Some were so poorly designed that I didn't trust them, some had books on the syllabus that I just didn't want to read, and some had religious agenda. VHS was aesthetically pleasing, the works to be studied looked interesting, and I liked the presentation of the educational philosophy."

Lily, ENG4U



Parent Testimonials

"Things are going well - [student] was accepted into a number of universities & chose Guelph.

The VHS course proved to be essential to his graduation & university application process, so we are glad it went well. It was a step towards greater responsibility for him, having to successfully complete a distance course on his own."

Thomas, MCB4U


"I would like to thank you for your wonderful Science course. Devon worked hard and learned so very much. She truly enjoyed it. I am certain she would not have received the same knowledge, experience or confidence in a "traditional" school setting. Thank you. We will be in touch again in the fall."

Julie, SNC1D

"I'm Matt's mom, writing to you from his e-mail. Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful experience this course (Canadian Literature) has been for Matt. The feedback he received from Mr. Smallwood was very thorough and extremely helpful -- far better than anything he has received in any class he has taken in his three years of high school. He had to work pretty hard, but he learned a lot in this course and we were all very happy with his results, both in terms of marks and in how he improved over the course of the year. I am so happy I found your website!"

Jeanne, ETC3M


"I wanted to thank you for all the help you provided for the course Steve took through Virtual High School. As a result, Steve is enjoying Frosh Week at McMaster University, before he starts his first year Engineering program. Thanks again."

The Dolson Family, MGA4U
