Excellent all girls private school
I attended Hawthorn through my high school years. It is a fantastic school for so many reasons:
1) small class size
2) Strong and well rounded academics
3) school encourages you to get involved in many different extra curricular activities (sports, drama, clubs, student council, volunteer work)
4) great staff which provide great role models for the students
5) Peers that come from families that also value education and character development that develop into lifetime friendships
6) Focus of the school on making you a better person in all aspects of life (character development)

But as a senior high school student I started realizing that all the rules had a purpose and were actually for my own good.

Now as an adult, I look back on my high school years at Hawthorn with much gratitude as I realize it was the foundation to my personal and professional growth and success that I have today.
Thank you to all the dedicated teachers, staff and parents that make Hawthorn School For Girls a real gem in Toronto. I would highly recommend it to any parent or student.
