UMCA Rich Tree Academy

Amazing school. I have been here since JK and its incredible. The teaching is fantastic. They feed you and give you snacks everyday. There are really cool trips even across the country. In my opinion, this school is a 5.0 star rating

I’ve been at UMCA for 3 years, and the experience has been amazing. They have lots of activities like field trips, workshops, and even swimming, and the teachers are very supportive and helpful. Mr.Sam is my favourite teacher because he changed how I look at English. I used to dislike English, but Mr.Sam changed my perspective. The students here are very kind; everyone is friendly, and they always help you with any problems, even outside of school. The community UMCA built is just incredible, and I hope when you join this school you will also have this experience.

I came to this wonderful school from Russia and have been studying here for 2 years. Here I made a lot of friends and met wonderful teachers who helped me all these two years

Umca is an amazing school that provides healthy kosher meals. And recently had a trip to PARIS that I took part in, this trip was very well planned and was super fun.

Umca is an amazing school. It has small classes and you get a lot of help from the teachers. If there is any bullying or if anyone says someone is talking bad about you the vice principal will take care of it. There are 15 students in one class. You get a lot of attention from the teachers and you learn a lot. All of the teachers are very helpful and kind. You should really consider letting your kids going to Umca.

Prior to UMCA we've been in a public school and another private school. So far UMCA is everything we could wish for - great facility, adequate professional (!) teachers, rather high level of education (those kids who do not want to study they do won't study no matter what school they are in and vice versa), many friends, the classes are yet small. Everything is so well organized, I was pleasantly happy to see that. Proper books, workbooks, binders, etc. There are many teachers and each teaches their own subject. Whereas, in many other schools you have one teacher for multiple subjects. Kids learn a LOT, especially by heart (nothing like that in public schools). Teachers and Suzana are always open to conversations, they also solve issues really professionally and quickly. Another important point is that teachers are happy there and whenever student needs help or support teachers are there for the kids :) that also means a lot. UMCA always promotes a team and community spirit through their events. So, overall, those are people whom we trust and we know that our children are safe there. UMCA is like a little world that reminds me my school back home in Eastern Europe.In any case if you consider any school go and meet with the Principal, have a tour, ask questions, and this will give you a good idea of how things are run there. In my opinion they do their best, and they do it on a high level. It is then parents' role to help the school and work with teachers in one team. As even if it is a school that costs money, knowledge will not magically appear in student's heads. Kids do need to work for that.I'd like to mention that some children fit into certain schools, and some don't. The same way some schools will be great for some, and not so good for others.Anything negative? Not really. Can't think of anything.By the way, the food at UMCA is amazing!Hope my honest comment helps people make their decision.

I am so grateful and thankful to UMCA for helping my child to grow and bloom as a wonderful person and great student. My words can’t express all the joy and happiness of seeing my child achieving her life goals. Special thank you to Miss Irina Grinev and Mr. Mark Vinitsky for bringing the best out of my daughter and showing her the interesting world of Math and Business. Big thank you to the Principal Suzanna for keeping the school as a safe place for everyone. Overall it’s a fantastic school. We will always remember Zarina and Svetlana. Zarina and Miss Tatyana and everyone else put so much tender , love and care since JK❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What a difference this school has made for my little guy! Jaxson is in SK and he loves going to school every day. He comes home with so much excitement and stories to tell! From the warm daily morning greeting from the Principal Suzzana to the amazing teachers, especially Ms April says Jaxson! I look forward to many years to come at UMCA

I immigrated to Canada 2 years ago. UMCA is a great school. It helped me learn English and adapt to a new environment! It also was a big part of my journey to signing a OHL contract. Next year I will have to study at another school, but I will miss UMCA so much!!

I have nothing but good memories from this school, when I first came to this school I was looking for a school that would help me understand all the topics I didn't understand and that's exactly what I was taught. After just one year of being in this school I felt like the smartest kid in the world. All the Feild trips we went on have all been great memories for me and my friends. We recently went on a Feild trip to a ninja course and it was one of the best Feild trips we have been to in my opinion. This school has yearly shows that we perform and we do something special every year for the holidays. The least this school deserves is a good review.
