Villa Maria College

Poor level of education for such a high price. How come do girls there learn how to twerk at this school? This is a private school and this should not be an image reflected by this establishment. Teachers should be aware of this situation. The parents must be very proud of their kids there... You know what I mean?

Met some nice students from this place very kind people and the education is marvellous

The teachers are very nice, school looks beautiful, but the students are not very well behaved. As a student who pays attention in class, the amount of people who are disrespecting school properties and teachers are numerous. For all the adults that have placed their kid in this school and are currently reading this comment, I have no intention of saying that YOUR kid is misbehaving, but I am saying that you should not judge the school because they ARE doing their best at making our lives better. Thank you for reading this comment!

A thoughtless neighbor. They are constantly making noise, in particular having maintenance crews regularly blowing dirt around with (prohibited) loud gas leaf blowers. Then when winter comes, it's time to run some other little two cycle engine in the middle of the night. No respect for anyone around then. I have no opinion on the quality of their education, though their behavior sort of ties with my feelings about private school so it may work for some.

It’s alright. I’m not going to complain. You know, I used to think students would go to private schools because they were intelligent (not like some below average ones) but I soon realized, in private schools, the kids are the same dumb people but richer, and that’s in general. Not only in Villa Maria.

Honestly not a bad school could use some work a friend of mine goes here I wanted to come but I heard some girls there are stuck up and rude and I hate girls like that so I went and still go to Marymount extremely good school

A school that progressively got worse year after year until we decided to transfer our daughter to another school. 38 kids per class, constant teacher and staff turnover, overpopulation. The only thing private about this place is the obligation to pay. Better off paying a little extra somewhere else and get the real benefits of a private school.

The school possess a complex of beautiful and interesting 19th and first half of 20th century buildings. One of them, the Monklands residence built in 1803, was the official residence of the Governors Generals from 1844 to 1849, when Montreal was the capital of the Province of Canada.

Honestly as a student that goes here the school isnt as bad as many say(I organized the school in this review and would appreciate those to read if wanting to go to this school)TEACHERS:Teachers are decent, i enjoy some and dislike others.a lot of them are new at the moment and many of the older teachers are the problemsince theybe been working for so long so administration doesnt seem to care.once again, teachers are either hit or miss and some teachers are more passionate than othersPROFILES:theres 4 profiles but majority tend to go for steam or sciences which seems to have a lot more care than the other programs.as a sec 3(sciences) biology is a clearly well thoughout course and we have nice labs and materiallaw (journalism) you just write things and the course is quite mediocre at moststeam you draw for (architecture)and entrepreneurship i have no clue.Point is, if you want to go in a course steam and science are your best bet.ART PROGRAMS:the art selections is mainly art kids (drawing type) and very little on the english side go to music, theres only at most 20 of us in the whole sec 3 class.very little take music and drama because they are objectively harder than art where you drawi wish the music program was more appreciatedthey have lovely teachers(mr jackson and mr barriere) who are clearly knowledge on the subject, for not being a musically oriented schoolEXTRA CREDIT:i suggest taking extra credit in your first 3 years to get on a program. the classes are an hour longer and you get to meet other years.(the following are from personal experiences)-spanish 1/2 are taught by mr roa bernal and mrs lesenkoan easy class to get by to get on the program-orchestra taught by mr jacksona lovely atmosphere and really made me enjoy music and appreciate itand insanely good music (check on insta or pinterest @gioderr for proof)(from others experiences)-modle un:if you enjoy public speaking and care for political issues many enjoy taking this however work load seems a bit much-buisness;no clue but hey, doesnt hurt to learn about buisnessWORKLOAD:its not terrible, teachers SHOULD only be given homework that can be completed in 15 minutes, if objectively longer take it with adminstration. (not as if they do much)but i agree its quite stressfulGUIDANCE:villa needs better guidance counselors, we had mrs brenner who left (she wasnt even that good)and i honestly always feel quite uncomfortable by them, it doesnt feel like a safe enviromentPEOPLE:anywhere you go, there will be mean people, dont act suprised, just find a right group :/i agree however that they never truly solve problems with proper punishment as a private schoolLUNCH:villas food is terribly unhealthy, not that having cookies us necessarily bad, but the food they sell should be monitored for literally the health of studentsvending machines are constantly brokenand everyone steals from them.and the ways to solve the stealing issue is to limit only 5 people in which limits lunch timepeople have places to be for availability and retakesCLUBS:the clubs are all under developed and i wish they had more interesting onesthey all make an effort but many clubs have a cost to it and its annoyingADMINISTRATION:the administration is the problem, strict for some stuff that are minor, and not strict enough for serious issuesthey have too many students and really need stronger punishment.ex: a kid making remarks about a jewish girl while “hailing hitler” should really not be taken lightlyARCHITECTURE:i wish they kept more of their historical build and stop renovating the old classrooms that held history. however, they need to for the amount of students there are.FIELDS:the fields are gorgeous and uniforms arent too bad, they are less strict but i never found an issue with them.i think the school has gone down hill from my mothers time but the school has to adapt with modern times

If you have a concern especially from Cindy Lessard about purposely excluding your child from a workshop that she registered for, you will never ever EVER get a reply to your e-mail. Unacceptable!
