A question from a friend triggered me to write about this important topic.
When you arrive to Canada, you start thinking where to live and how to choose the place and so on. Possibilities are endless. For me, I wanted to be next to the best school ( not only academic, but also environment and culture wise). You can check the school rankings via 2 methods:
- Fraser Institute, which offers ranking for most ( not all) schools . It also offers information about most schools socio-educational information ( annual average income of parents, % born in canada, % of non english speaking, parents' education...). These are good indicators about the area you are living in, and the school.
- EQAO , which is the official Ontario results. It has information about all Ontario schools. It compares each school results, to TDSB and Ontario results. It also offers some social info, like first language at home, years being in canada and so on.
Check both, compare results, visit the schools, and then choose your place within the boundaries of the school. That's what we did.
