Shambhala School

We moved to Halifax in 1998 from North Carolina. Our older boy was 7 and already hated school. We looked at all the public and private schools in Halifax and decided on the Shambhala school based on it's small class size and the philosophy of making the learning a natural part of our son's day. I used to smile when I asked him what he learned and every day he just smiled back and said they didn't do any work, just played. From being a fight to get him to go to school, it got to be an equally difficult task to get him to stay home when he was sick. The teachers were wonderful and many times they told us things we didn't know about our own children. They were helpful and attentive to his educational and all his other needs as well. He loved it and continued to love it until he graduated from grade 12 three years ago. He still misses it. Our younger son is currently a grade 10 student and he loves it just as much. He calls it his second family and he really feels like a part of a big family there.
Both boys have blossomed and it still amazes me how the school coaxes them and gives them the confidence to do things they (and I) would have thought impossible. I can't recommend it highly enough. If you're considering giving your child the best start they can have, you won't go wrong sending them to Shambhala.
