In The Words Of Our International Students At Banbury Crossroads School

Britney, Grade 3

International Student from China

The English here is easier. I am doing a city project in mathematics. I am building houses, drawing things, and writing down the perimeter of each house. The teachers and students are good. I only see pictures in the English comic book, but now I can read chapters. It is really good to come here because there is a translation to help you and it is easy for you to do it.

Sheryl, Grade 6

International Student From China

There are many activities in school, and we can learn a lot. I have a fencing class, and it is a lot of fun. I've also done a project. It is a booklet about Hummingbirds and I've been presenting it in a student exhibition this year.

The teachers are kind to the students, and I made new friends here. There are many native students and teachers, and I understand more English now. The studying environment here feels free, and the teachers are all very nice.

Hyena, Grade 8

International Student from Korea

I like my teachers. They are very kind, and I like this school's education. If I don't know something, the teachers help me, and Banbury is a good school. I liked PE class; I did a lot of fun activities like horseback riding, fencing, and sailing. I've never done these before, and it's been exciting. The teachers are very good and kind. My friends are also very nice. They very much welcome me. My English was terrible, but I've been here for a year, and I already improved my English a lot by talking to friends and teachers. Banbury is suitable for studying and is good for focusing on what I want to study. Banbury is good and it's a very nice school where you can enjoy yourself.

Roxanne, Grade 11

International Student From China

The best thing about this school is its self-guidance. Students can have their ideas and learn according to their progress and needs. The teachers are very good to their students. The best thing about this school is the mentoring part. I can talk to the teachers about this week's and next week's schedules which is very helpful for my studies. This is my favorite place. I like the teachers here the most. The students are very friendly, and the teachers are very caring. My English has improved a lot. I enjoy my time here. I enjoy it every day. I appreciate the time I spend with my teachers and I love it here.

Cory Wright-Maley

Parent testimonial

"I cannot say enough about the positive experience we have had with Banbury Crossroads. Our son, who struggled to have his gifted needs met at two different public schools, has absolutely thrived here. The teachers embody the kindness, curiosity, and dedication that are the hallmarks of humanistic education, and their teaching is tailored to students' unique abilities. As a professor of education, I am convinced that Banbury's approach to education is how we would design teaching and learning if we were somehow able to start schooling from scratch."

Iain Richardson

Student testimonial

"I attended Banbury from grades 8-12 between the years of 1996-2000. The independent learning environment allowed me to explore my academic interests while ensuring that I recieved a well grounded and comprehensive high school education. The teaching staff encouraged me to develop intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivations for learning; this has given me a lifelong appreciation for the value of self motivation both during my post-secondary education and my career. I cannot speak highly enough regarding the dedication and commitment of the teaching staff. I have maintained a relationship with the teachers at Banbury and consider them to be both my mentors and friends."

Richard Weber

Parent testimonial

"As a parent for 6 years, I can say that this school is ideal for many students who find that the public system does not work for them. The learning is student focused and the students are responsible for their education. The staff not only know every student by name but also their background and situation so no student slips through the cracks. Many of the behaviors that are typical in other schools are not tolerated at Banbury due to their "respect for self, respect for others and respect for our place" policy. Students feel very safe at this school."

Evia Hayter

Student testimonial

"Banbury taught me how to keep myself on track and push myself to work harder. I attended Banbury from grade 3 to 6 and they helped me stay on track and manage my school work while I was a very serious dancer. I now go to Alberta Ballet School and my teachers there are amazed with my knowledge and how mature I am. Banbury taught me so many things and I believe it is a great school. I go back to visit regularly and everyone is so welcoming."
