Schools in Toronto: Canada's Queen City

Thursday January 4, 2007
One option you might want to consider when choosing a private school is selecting a Canadian school. While there are excellent private schools throughout Canada, it's hard to beat the attractions which Canada's Queen city, Toronto, offers. Easy to get to, easy to get around, Toronto is a safe, clean large city with superb cultural and sports facilities. It is also home to several very high quality private schools.

Another consideration to ponder is the exchange rate. Canadian schools currently ring up about 10% less than comparable American schools due to the Canadian and American dollar conversion rate. Oh, and don't worry about your child getting into a good U.S. college. Canadian matriculation standards will satisfy the most demanding university admissions requirements. Enjoy, eh?
