Profound change

“I watched [my son] struggle right from grade one. All the teachers said he was a great kid, helpful, kind, and put in a lot of effort. But he still wasn’t catching on to reading and writing. By grade three or four, he would cry in the mornings because he didn’t want to go to school. It was too hard. Once he got into Discovery School … everything changed. He walked into a class of regular kids, two of whom he knew from playing lacrosse. He has not cried or been frustrated or overwhelmed with school since his first day at Discovery. He spent grades 6 and 7 there, then moved on to Oak Bay High. [He] has been on the Honour Roll with almost all As and Bs for the last 3 1/2 years.” ~ Mrs. C.
