Braeside is a wonderful school. Small class sizes, supportive parent community, great teachers, great resources. We love it!

There is something magical about Braeside school. It is apparent when you walk through the doors and see kids happily visiting Principal Kritzman s office, the amazing student artwork that decorate the halls, the sounds of the kids from the classrooms. As a parent, I am amazed at the opportunities offered in an elementary school even in an era of cutbacks, the community and school has worked together to keep resources like the IMC open at all times for students. It is a joy to have kids that have a love of learning and going to school at Braeside and I have to admit, I love visiting there too.
