Korah Collegiate & Vocational School

boys constantly vape in the bathrooms and never flush the toilets. staff look like breaking bad characters and think i'm autistic. i never want to see the french language ever again

The school is good but whenever I go to the bathroom it always has a fruity scent.

Worst high-school staff I as a parent ever had to deal with! I didn't go to office for any negative issues just regular admistrative issues since Noone likes to call back in a timely manor. While in office 2 different people made me feel uncomfortable there like a kid in detention. I swear the one staff member was biting her lip trying not to tell me to take off my hat or stop chewing my gum.

Love this school, great teachers, great councilling, great classes. Especially good sports.

Edit:I have graduated and also successfully obtained my IB Diploma! It was a great 4 years at Korah. Teachers are very supportive and knowledgeable in their subject areas; they want you to succeed. The staff in both the office and student services are friendly and will help you to the best of their abilities. Computers have been upgraded and are much better than the ones previously used.Some words of advice if you choose to enroll in the IB Programme:#1: If you're able to, start early! The summer after grade 10 would be ideal for this as you would have the background knowledge required to self-study. The IB Programme is inherently challenging and you will inevitably face challenges. By getting started on the content ahead of time, you can alleviate some of these challenges. If you struggle with or have knowledge gaps in the content, that is alright and also normal; classes will help you erase those gaps.#2: Use the plethora of resources on the Internet to your advantage... there are many IB tutorial videos/websites available, and even access to problems from past papers! They can supplement your learning and help you improve in certain concepts/subjects. However, it is important that you do not use the Internet to plagiarize work - plagiarism is easily traceable and simply not worth it.#3: For the Extended Essay (EE), you typically write it in one of the four Higher Level (HL) subjects offered at Korah: English, Chemistry, Biology, and History. All the Enhanced Programme teachers for these four subjects also teach the equivalent IB courses. If you're in the Enhanced Programme and have a topic in mind, or want to brainstorm one, ask them about it! If you have a solid topic to write about and incorporate teacher feedback and suggestions, you save time on the preparation process and your EE will improve as well!---Original review:An excellent school that EXCELS in academics & sports. The technology may not be the best, but the teachers are excellent and knowledgeable. In Korah, there is something for everyone. My sister took IB at Korah, and now I am currently attending Korah, following her footsteps by taking the IB Programme in Grades 11-12, and the Enhanced Programme in Grades 9-10. Overall, I would recommend Korah to everyone!

Best school ever!! They are so well are maintaining all the rules when dealing with Covid and then are a great family for students! Would recommend!

3rd floor bathroom smells like Grape, 2nd floor bathroom is filled with 10 year olds and the first floor bathroom is in 3 separate places, and the cafeteria pizza is a different size than if you order it from the actual pizza parlour

Someone took the entire paper towel roll in the 3rd floor bathroom and tried to flush it. didn't even get cleaned up until 4 days later. Also the air always smells like fruit in the bathrooms due to vapes.

Never let me use my iep. The science teacher for the IB program harrassed me nearly everytime I went to class but the school did nothing about it. This teacher told me I'd never graduate. If I didn't leave this school I wouldnt of graduated on time. The only reason why Im in college now is because I left this place.

The West is Best! On a more serious note, I can say that Korah really formed who I am today by encouraging me to be my best by inspiring a sense of resilience. Wrapping up my second Masters and about to start my PhD, I can say that Korah really pushed me to be my best and exposed me to develop a real love for learning and discovery. Korah opened my world on interesting concepts from a range of perspectives in an environment where it is okay to discover the world and yourself. Having electives in social science, math, science and business gave a good “preview” of alternatives for continuing. Guidance councilling was amazing at narrowing my focus which ultimately led me to where I am today. And the student environment is stellar, very accepting, diverse and welcoming group of connections that last many years. Overall, I must say my Korah experience was one stelar academic journey.
