Bronte College

Hello to whoever is reading the Bronte College review on Google,I'm writing this review because I am so confused by how much exaggerated reviews I have read about their time at Bronte. If you want to hear my opinion and a most current review of Bronte College, I am here to give you the most recent and probably least biased review about my time here in Bronte College.First off as a International student who is studying here, it is such an exaggerated thing to say that 90% student are Chinese. What about the Nigerian, what about other student like Vietnamese, Indian, Japanese, Indonesian, Thai, Korean, Turkish, Russian, Pakistan, Mexican and so much more; are we invisible. The reason why there are a lot of Chinese students here because China is a country that is known for having the world largest population. Plus this is one of the cheapest school that have the resident option for sure there gonna be a lot of Chinese student want to study here.Next with the food, I have 3 year experiences of eating food here in Bronte. And I am proud to say that the food have improved so much in the past few year. From chicken and rice slowly change to spaghetti and meat ball, from disgusting risotto to deliciously crispy fish and chip. Bronte food have never seen a better day, honestly it's not as good as it sound but trust me those small changes do matter. If you don't feel like the food is suitable for you just ask the food committee, they are hired to make sure that the food will always get better for the student enjoyment. It never hurt too ask the staff of Bronte, just know that it will change slowly. About the rice, well because their are a lot of country that eat rice with every meal so that is why it there; basically to fill you up.Overall Bronte may have a lot of issues inside of the school, whether it make anyone felt mad and unfair. But all of those mistake can be fixed if you are willing to accept that Bronte is trying everyday to change.So if you feel like you want to study in Canada or to be specific Bronte College, just know that after a rain come a rainbow; that any sad, misunderstood, unfairness moments here in Bronte cannot be compare to the knowledge, the friend, the good time you have here. I enjoy my time here at Bronte College

Bronte College is not a dull place. I have never seen a school which offers such amazing activities. Being in residence myself I know that they take care of us very well and go beyond to ensure our happiness. We go ice skating, roller skating, they even offer trips around Canada. I am enjoying my experience and think people should stop worrying about things that they never stop improving.

Bronte has provided me with great memories for my first boarding experience in Canada. Although I only stayed there for a very short term, I made lots of friends from many other countries. I got to involve myself in many exciting activities particularly those related to sports. The residence dons that I had during my stay there were amazing as well. I particularly liked the fact that there will always be someone in the library who could always give a helping hand when I needed it with my assignments and courses. The Physics and Chemistry teacher that I had were also very experienced and helpful. Overall, it was a real awesome experience. :)

I spent three years at Bronte College, and my experience was absolutely amazing. All the teachers worked hard to provide us with the best education and make us better people every day.If you see bad reviews, ignore them. As with any school, Bronte still had uncultured and naughty students who regularly broke the rules and found it hard to live in human society. And they never represent the reputation of this school.Minus one star because the cafeteria food was sometimes so oily :)P/s: Special thanks to Dr. Gouda, Ms. Cyr, Ms. Mukherjee and Ms. McGinnis; you have changed my mindset and my life ^^

I spent a year in Bronte, and I am truly happy with my experience here.Teachers in Bronte are awesome. They care about their students and want them to do well. Especially if you are an ESL student, you can stay after school with the teachers to ask questions (they do not mind stupid questions), email/message them or join academic clubs. I did all that and graduated with a much higher GPA than I expected, got into the university that I wanted. One thing I love about Bronte is that teachers will not pass you just because your parents have paid a lot. Put in the effort and you will do great!!p.s. I met super cool people here whom I still talk to although we do not go to the same university.JOIN BRONTE PEOPLE ~~

This upcoming September will be my third year in Bronte College. The day I arrived Bronte, I was very nervous and tried my best to avoid people because I was scared that they would think I was different and strange. The funny thing was that we were all so different and unique in our own ways with the various traditions, ethnicities, beliefs, etc.So far, Bronte has taught me how to be independent. For those of you coming into Bronte and had previously needed your parents/guardians to do your work for you; news flash, you will learn everything you need to know in school.Although curfew is set at 10pm which is very early, there is quite a lot of freedom in Bronte. We are allowed to go out on our own without supervision which is essential in growing teenagers. If a child is smothered and doesn't have access to a little freedom, that is when they rebel. I highly suggests that curfew should be increased a bit, at least in the weekend.The food quality has increased quite a bit since I got here. The rations are still small but they have added a few different options (thanks to the Food Committee). Despite all the challenges, Bronte has acted as an opportunity to better discover yourself, explore, respect, and live in peace with people of different cultures, race and beliefs.

Go here if you are a foreign student with rich parents to help you get into a Canadian university. You will need the money, there are a lot of extra costs on top of the tuition and boarding. Like making you take courses you don't have to, and not enough food, so you have to go buy your own. The food is terrible and mostly oily sauce on rice with almost no vegetables. Imagine teens complaining about no vegetables. Not exactly the kitchen staff's fault, they have a small budget, and are seriously understaffed. Because they are understaffed the pop machine gives people stomach aches because it's never cleaned. And if the food is so good, how come the bosses in the suits get different food from the cafeteria?The guidance counselors and the principal are outright liars. The principal made promises before we signed up when we were visiting, and then a year later, she said she never said what she said in front of me and my parents. That ended up costing us thousands of dollars. My parents are still upset with her and my dad wanted to yell at her at my graduation but my mom made him not.It's all Chinese students, that only speak Mandarin. So if you don't, too bad for you. The only other group are Nigerians. And lots of my Nigerian friends there failed their courses because the guidance counselors put them in courses that were way ahead of them. So not fair, they fail a bunch of course and have to pay to take them again.The teachers get paid very little here so the better teachers always leave as soon as they get better offers. My friend's at MacLachlan and Appleby have awesome teachers that have been at the school for a while. But at Bronte they are mostly new or really, like really old shouldn't be working anymore people. When I was there 2 of my favorite teachers left (English and science).If you don't believe me, just hang out near the school after school is over and ask them. I'm sure it's still the same. I only graduated recently.

I have been studying in this school for an entire year and here is what I want to tell you about this school.Education is decent, teachers are qualified and responsible, they now how to deal with ESL students, and do their work properly. But all time they spend on Chinese people, majority of those are very slow and lessons start being exhausting.Living conditions are not really good. They gave each student room 2x3 meters, where it's difficult to put your extra stuff. The table for studying is set up though. Washrooms and showers are for everyone use. Sometimes I found weird staff and sometimes disgusting stuff, teenagers have a lot of stupidity.Food in cafeteria is bad. You can get your food once, if you are still hungry you can eat rice. After a week I started to hate it, for Chinese people it was amazing.Live in residence is very boring. They make activities very rarely and only when principle or head of residence life asks them. They are extremely strict. Dating the girl or boy in school usually prosecuted, you can't visit each other's rooms, so about your son or daughter having a children you shouldn't worry. If you got cough doing something that you should not be doing or it your action is against school policy - you will be fined. Fine starts from $5 for being late, $10 for detentions and more than $100 for suspensions. One time I got a suspension for being bold, what I misunderstood, but didn't do anything, because otherwise I would be kicked out of school. That's how it works. So if you are ready to pay for your child, be ready to pay a lot.In closing this opinion review want to say that there are a lot of Chinese people (around 80%), they are rich and ready to pay that. Everything that I wrote above happened to me and I guarantee that it's the facts. Please be careful sending your son or daughter in this school.

Studying at Bronte college, one thing that amazes me the most is the food quality that always above my expectation. Studies have shown that increasing the nutritional quality of school meals appears to be a promising, cost-effective way to improve student learning. That’s why I love this school.

I used to work for Bronte College and I had a horrible experience. I worked for Bronte College as a Summer Camp Counselor for one week before getting fired for swearing. Yes, I was fired from a job for swearing. This was not a breach of any contract I had signed.I can honestly say that I was relieved when I was fired. This was the most disorganized and poorly run organizations I have ever had the displeasure of working for. Part of the job of a counselor was picking up international students at the airport; the admin would tell us a few hours before the plane was set to land that we had to pick up students. The admin was so disorganized that one time the admin failed to check the status of a plane and a student was left at the airport for more than 2 hours waiting for the admin to realize that they had landed. Moreover, I had to work more than 20 hours one day due to the lack of communication between the admin and myself - I had to drive back and forth from the College to the airport and pick up several students because the admin had failed to inform me of the times students were set to land.As for the disgusting slop that Bronte College calls 'food' it was horrendous. The first day me and the counselors were served food from the cafe none of us could bring ourselves to finish it. Me and the other counselors resolved to buy our own food rather than force this slop down our throats. The College says that they are introducing a new menu, they have been saying that every since I worked for them 2 years ago. The food is not visually appealing and is even worse when you eat it. Every student and employee I talked to hated the food and was one of the biggest complaints I heard.As for the whole question of diversity at Bronte College they will tell you that they accept students from 42 different countries. It may well be true that in their entire history that they have had students come from 42 different countries but I can tell you that the vast majority of the students are Chinese. Which is fine, but stop telling lies about your diversity.As for the accommodations, they are reminiscent of prison cells. Hard concrete walls, a hard bed, and a few drawers to put your clothes in. The showers were shared by at least 10 people and were poorly cleaned.The administration is only in it for the money; I understand that it is a for-profit venture but that does not give the admin the right to exploit parents. Not only does the admin milk as much money as they possibly can out of parents but the education they provide their students is abysmal. Several of the teachers I knew told me that this was their first teaching position. The students hated class and did not learn anything from them.I would not recommend Bronte College to anyone. RUN AWAY!
