"I appreciate the teachers’ unending support to their students; you can really see they invest their best into the students. The choice of coming here has improved my development as a person and I am better prepared for the workplace."
~ Simon Kimbley, Grade 10 Student
"I love Munro Academy because it’s a close and supportive family. I like the small classes and the fact that when I walk in the halls I can name every student and every teacher in every classroom; there are relationships being built here and that’s special. I also like the fact that Munro Academy is a Christian School and that we get to worship together and pray for each other."
~ Anna Fenton, Grade 10 Student
