William Academy Scarborough

A school for rich and entitled Chinese students who are here to game the system. They pay for grades while buying homes, Audis, Porches, designer bags and expensive watches. All while declaring 0 as their net income. This is essentially a money laundering exercise for the Chinese who send their kids to Canada to get an "education" but really, they use it as an excuse to transfer $10-20K a month to their kids account and get that money out of China. Don't mistake the posed pictures for real life. This place is a sham and if you're child isn't Chinese, has no business being there. There is also a reason they have the same handful of non-Chinese "students" in each picture. And none of then are POC. Also, the classrooms are small dingy rooms chalkboards, not the ones in the pictures. There are no labs or real phys ed facilities. It's in a former office building and is not equipped for teaching and learning.

Ms.Kebir is the kindest and greatest teacher that I've ever met. Five stars for her.

Dont take IELTS here! You will definitely lose your mark on the speaking test because of the Asian examiner. Please choose another location to have the test.

Showed up 15 minutes early for test and they said I was too late. Was not impressed at losing $200, drove from Oshawa, Ontario.

This school is disgusting place. My sister doesn't live in Canada, so she decided to take English classes at this school, while studying at her school in real life. Her schedule from Monday to Friday was really horrible, because she was at her school for 7 hours a day and then online classes at William Academy for 3 hours + all homeworks. Because of the schedule, she was skipping classes sometimes, plus it's a huge time difference. Her teacher knew her situation and still she was doing all assigments by deadline, she was getting good feedback from the teacher. After the Winter Break, William sent a letter to my family saying that my sister did nothing in two months of school and called her incapable and irresponsible! This person didn't speak to my sister's teacher, who had been praising her all this time. My sister did really well in her difficult situation, she was the only one in a class who studied in two schools. We paid tuition money to listen to private inappropriate comments from this "principal"? What kind of school is this? I live in Canada and I have experience with education system here. The William Academy shouldn't exist.
