I actually came on here after leaving the spectacular lunar new year performance that the school just put onI wanted to scream from the rooftops how wonderful this school is! Im so confused about the review before mine because our experience was so different. Every teacher my daughter has ever had has shown her genuine love and care. The school staff, immersion teachers, and the coordinator, and the principal and administrators have always been so warm to our family. We feel genuinely connected in this community, and that is not always the case having been at another school before here. Thank you to the whole BRES staff for all that you do every day for our kids.

This school has a really disrespectful principal, this person don't accept any comments affected what she is doing, that's matter if she is doing everything wrong, i wrote a comment in dogoclass app and i said:
Whos choreographed this dance????
We parents come to see our children and we can't! Who thought it was a good idea to put tall, big kids in the front?! They didn't let us see the little girls in the back, including my daughter. I tried to record, but I couldn't because the tall, big kids were blocking the view of the girls behind them. The assistant told me to move while I was recording, and other parents were recording before me in the same place and no one said anything to them, whats the different?. As parents, we love to expended time to come and watch our kids doing this performance l did every year, but we want to see our children, also I don't know what the assistant said to my daughter when is was saying bye to her that made her so worried, is not acceptable.
After this comment she call me to thread me saying I will remove you from dogoclass!!! This is unacceptable, I will make a claim to cosa

The Principal has an amazing connection with students, staff and families. The communication is ongoing and meaningful and curriculum is hands on and individualized in small groups and shared partnerships. Chinese immersion and after school offerings build skills such as art, Lego design and building that are student focused. The diversity of the school provides opportunities for learning about the uniqueness of students and families across multiple cultures. Definitely prepares students for problem solving and critical thinking for their future.
