Royal West Academy

This school is AMAZING. Their courses are top notch and most teachers are super nice and caring. They have an appalling amount of extra curricular activities! An amazing high school for your child.

I went to this place when I was a kid, kind of sad that it is a private school now but times change. When I went here in the early 70s some things I used to enjoy (maybe all gone now). They used to have a wonderful theater with a balcony. they showed movies on occasion, had assembles. The ground floor used to have trade skills classes, Home ED (remember making scotch eggs), drafting (remember drafting), wood work I still have a scissor bird I made. We had to walk pretty far to get to Montreal West High School (which is was called) and snow in Montreal !!! The classes used to be heated by water :)

This school is very good. I'm currently going there right now and I can tell you from the perspective of a student there are many reasons to send your kid here why like it. First of all Royal West is a very progressive school and has students from everywhere. Royal West will except you for who ever you are. besides a lot of the comments here, I find the teachers to be very good and helpful to learning. they may be tough but it prepares you for the long run. this school will prepare you for university and life in all. the hard work and difficulty is manageable and if you are ever having trouble there are plenty of places you can go. although this school is a public school, it acts like a private school with its amazing facilities but it's still extremely affordable. The school has a very good sports program and many extra ciricular. French is pretty good but the teachers are strict. Lastly its easy to get to royal west from no matter where because there's a train right in front of the school. Overall this is an amazing school and I highly suggest it.

Amazing school i love it lots of activities, just some of the teachers suck

A nice school with recent remodeling done. Students seem to be respectful and polite.

Great school, lots of activities, beautiful computer lab, but I think it might need to add some programming courses.

I entered this school in grade 7 with hopes and dreams. I left with sleep deprivation, burnout and asbestos in my lungs.

I felt that this school, despite some stellar and caring teachers, did not place any emphasis on its students' mental health, instead resorting to empty and surface-level methods that seem more like attempts to boost its own reputation than to genuinely help. The guidance counselors who I encountered were dismissive and gaslit students, while the school had ridiculous standards and rules. As a top student, I was once almost suspended for accidentally missing 2 detentions, given for forgetting to hand in a slip which had to be signed because I had shown up late due to a dentist appointment. As a final point, the students there were simply privileged bullies who were not fun to be around. I would say that the environment there was the root of a long depression on my part.However, I did receive a good education at this school.

the teachers and the administration need to be educated on behaviour, they conduct themselves like complete fools, especially the ones that are sent with students on field trips.
