Top Schools in Mississauga, Canada

It has been an incredible experience since my daughter joined Holly Name of Mary .
My daughter had grown from both the personal and Academic perspective. Looking forward to another successful year as my second daughter will join this year
Thank you HNMCS!

Students were mean and disrespectful

This program has been excellent for my 9y old's development! Not only is she learning dance choreography, singing and acting, but she is also growing in confidence and self-discipline. And compared to other programs, I very much appreciated having a year end show that DIDN'T require me to buy tickets!

It’s a great program for both kids and parents: 3 hr learning, out by late lunch, and responsible release time. The school took care of costume, no additional cost or stress for end of term performance. Best thing is kids get opportunities to work on stage presence from a young age, great for confidence development. My child enjoyed it for many years.

Our daughter transitioned to HNMCS mid way through high school in September 2023. We found the girls, leadership and teachers all very supportive, welcoming and friendly. The smaller class sizes and individual attention really stand out as key differentiators compared to other high schools. This allows for a greater focus on preparing the individual for success in high school and beyond. Moreover, there is a real close-knit community at HNMCS and it shows through a high degree of student and parent involvement with school activities and programs. We believe we are very well prepared for her to go on and complete high school and be successful in her post secondary studies. We definitely made the right decision to attend HNMCS.

A great place to learn! The teachers are some of the best in Ontario! Go tigers!

I stopped in for Dhuhr while I was delivering in the area. Beautiful masjid, very lovely and welcoming place to pray. Will return whenever I’m nearby

BE WARNED! this is not a real private school it is part of the public school board and marked as an independent school. I attended HNMCS from grade 6-8 and was bullied tremendously by the girls. I had the hardest time of my life here and barely was able to convince my parents to leave. The class sizes are small and there was no ability for me to pick the right friends as most of the girls were mean and snobby. As well, the education is the same as a public school , the teachers here are underpaid as the school is not unionized so they are not the best teachers.

Great school to start kindergarten. My child in JK adores his teachers in class.

As a Muslim traveler, one would of course look for mosques that are on Google maps as "open 24/7". This is why I stopped at this mosque and unfortunately upon arrival, the mosque doors were shut and even though there was a car at the parking lot indicating that someone may be inside already, after several minutes of knocking and walking around the property I was unable to get into the mosque.

I urge the authorities of the mosque to not list this as one that is "open 24/7" for the sake of people passing by and wanting to pray their salah.

Ms. Rabia should not be a teacher. I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a license to teach. She bullied our daughter for years and we were not aware if it until our daughter recently had the courage to share with us. She used to bully her daily for the smallest thing. It's so sad to see a Teachers whose job is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for their students, but instead this teacher made it her mission to traumatize our daughter. God knows how many other kids she has bullied and they too are afraid to speak out. I hope this establishment will take serious action against her since she should not be any where near children. I can't believe she would purposely provide a hostile environment for her students and personally bully them. She used to humiliate my daughter in front of the entire class. Everytime she would get an answer wrong, Ms. Rabia would embarrass her and give her dirty looks daily. Our daughter till this day gets emotional talking about her trauma and I'm pretty sure this experience will haunt her for life.

i used to go to corsair and these kids threw sticks and grass/snow at me and sometimes sharp objects like fragments of glass. also theres a creepy man in the washroom so lookout. teachers and students are very rude and started poking sticks through the fence from the border between corsair and st timothy.

ps: do NOT go to metropolitiation andrei catholic school just move out of the city :)

good experience despite the whimsical nature of a student named lila allen

We have been attending Stagecoach Mississauga and Oakville for 6 years and have nothing but wonderful things to say. Our children run to class and come out smiling, singing and dancing. The staff are all incredible and talented and it makes for a very positive and wholesome result.

Traveling from New York, I was warmly received. Wanted to stay and be part of this wonderful community. Will try to visit again soon, In Shaa Allah and spend one or two prayers here.

Stagecoach offers a wonderful experience with the right balance of fun and creativity. My daughter is always excited to attend singing, acting, drama class and has developed confidence in public speaking and stage performances. Tosha and her staff provide a respectful, fun environment for the kids. I highly recommend this program and absolutely enjoy watching the kids dedication and discipline shining through with these entertaining stage performances.

Our kid is 9y, and in her 4th year of Stagecoach. It is consistently a wonderful experience for her and she looks forward to it every week. The quality of programming and instructors is top-notch, and as a parent I also very much appreciate how organized and well run the admin end of things is. Highly recommend!

We are very grateful to Stagecoach Mississauga for its amazing program. Since attending Stagecoach’s regular season session as well as summer camp, our daughter has become more confident with performing and presenting - whether it’s on stage, at school or as part of a sports program. Thank you Tosha!!

Alhamdulilah, beautiful and friendly establishment, very welcoming, it’s a great Islamic school for the kids and inshallah soon enough will grow for the entire Muslim community of Ottawa.

Teachers are very rude, totally agree with other parents. Complained so many times but nothing is done.

I attended HNMCS from grade 5-12 and it was such an amazing experience. The school provides you with so much opportunity to grow and develop in such a healthy and close knit community. From the vast extracurriculars I participated in all eight years, to the leadership trips, the classes and some of the most amazing teachers I’ve ever had, I absolutely loved my time at the school and reminisce on those days all the time. HNMCS prepared me for university so well, I felt confident going into post-secondary school, and was determined to lead my way through my four years of my undergrad. I am a proud alumna of Holy Name and I cannot wait to see the school grow further and inspire new generations of female leaders!

We are so glad we made the right choice choosing Holy Name Of Mary college school to educate our one and only daughter. Our daughter joined the school grade 8 in September. it is interesting to express that our daughter is always happy going to school daily. Our great joy for such a school that provides a balance of academics, engaging extracurricular activities, sports, highly qualified and amazing staff, always ready to support the girls academically and providing opportunities for the girls to become confident, successful and compassionate women in today’s world. We will choose the school over and over again. Thank you for all you do.

theres no locks in the stalls in the girls washroom theres no tampons or pads in the dispensers in the washroom and they do not fill the soap up and there is teacher and principals in the washrooms 24/7 meanwhile theres already no privacy with no locks on the doors

My siblings and l were some of the first students to begin in Sept. 1962 at St.Timothy Elementary School after it's opening. Prior to that we were housed at St. Catherine of Siena Elementary School. My maiden name was Siemons. Siblings Peter, Alice, Kathy and Mary.

St. Timothy's was a single rectangular building. No Gymnasium or Library. We used a certain classroom for each. Otherwise outdoors mostly in descent weather. There was any open orchard on the North side of the school, not fenced off. The office got plenty of phone calls from the property owner. LOL 😆

There were water fountains outside along the South side of the school towards the back (these fountains were actually attached to a sink back then, next to the mechanical room).
The office entrance was strangely at the back on the North side as well. No Queensway Avenue back then, just field. My age presently is 65 years old. I still live in Mississauga which was Cooksville Oh, so long ago !

Dinosaurs are quite friendly and harmless 😎 also dino's better than cats

Very clean, smell is so nice. You can tell they it very serious about there cleanness and the service is great. JazaKAllah Kheir

Ms. Hawthorne and Ms. Wollaston were absolutely fantastic to work with on a moments notice. The opportunity to speak briefly with them and offer guidance to my Daughter may very well have deeply improved her final highschool years. Thank you and have a good week.

very guud school, would recommend for young black students

Holy Name of Mary College school - Mississauga is such a wonderful school filled with Educators that really care for the girls. My daughter has thrived not only Academically but also she has an extended family community where she has felt safe and taken care of.
The staff works tremendously hard to help the girls with their studies and I have seen great work from my daughter since attending HNMCS. She has not only thrived academically but she has also become a confident young women!
Holy Name of Mary College is a wonderful school and we are so proud to be part of this wonderful community!

We can’t say enough about Stage Coach! The teaching staff is professional yet so fun and their love for children and the arts shines through. The shows are creative and entertaining. Thank you so much for creating an environment for our kids to grow not only their talents, but their confidence and friendships as well.

My children have both attended the program here and it was such an enriching, confidence-building experience for them both. Teachers are professional, engaging and so talented. The shows were amazing! They loved it!

A distant relative of mine, who's brother-in-law is here in Mississauga, recommended this Masjid to me and Moulana Asif Qasmi, the Imam of the Mosque for his du'aa and Baraqat during a time of great unease and strife for me. His prayers and blessings have provided me with a great deal of relief.

Little did I know that he performed one of my best friend's Nikah and that my Dada contributed to his Masjid, as it was the closest Masjid to him in Karachi. Little did I know that he also taught Islamic teachings to my Father and my Chachas. Little did I know that our relations with him go back so many decades.

My Father informed me that he worked 27 years of his life on a Tafseer of the Quran in Urdu and is now available for purchase in 6 volumes. I'm sure the money from the sale of these volumes goes towards the Masjid and towards other Zakat.

My own personal experience with the Imam and Moulana is that he is a very kind man to all. He is a soft spoken man with a kind heart. He seems to be in his 80s now, but still continues to provide Hidayyat, prayers and leadership in our faith of Islam.

The Mosque in general is a reflection of his leadership in that it is very clean and has Qudbahs both in Arabic, Urdu and English. The Qari for the offering of the 2nd Jum'aa Namaz is particularly insightful and recitesthe Quran during prayers in a beautiful voice reminiscent of Sheikh Sudais in Masjid al-Haram.

The Mosque also has a separate entrance and prayer area for women. It also has a separate place for making ablution (Wu'duu). It also has an Islamic school (Madrasa) for children attached. The children's contributions outside of the classrooms, I find to be beautiful and a reflection of what is taught to them at this school.

All in all, it is the best Masjid in all of Canada that I have had the opportunity to pray in, except for my childhood Masjid in Windsor, Ontario.

Jazak'Allah'Khair to Moulana Asif Qasmi and all the other hard workers of faith at Masjid Jamia Islamia. May they be rewarded for their good deeds and this life and the hereafter. Ameen.

Its a good school with good teachers like Chalmers and Hubbard and Millar but there is one teacher I have rn names Verghis, she is my math teacher and she doesn't teach very well she also isnt the nicest, she once yelled at my class bc she didn't know how to use her projector and thought the class made it happen. She also isn't the best grader, i got all b+ and a- and she gave me all S's even tho i always participate, she is not the best teacher and i feel bad for anyone else who has or gets her.

School is well located on a calm place surrounded with traditional residents and greenery’s.

HNMCS was a great all girls school to attend. I attended between grade 5 and 12 and was provided numerous educational, leadership, and extra curricular opportunities, preparing me well for university. The teachers provided significant attention to the needs and abilities of each student, and were always available to help after class if necessary. Overall, I would recommend this school for girls looking to build confidence, gain strong educational experiences and prepare for university.

My daughter joined HNMCS in Grade 5 and currently is in Grade 11. During this time HNMCS has become her "home" from home. From the outset you are welcomed into the community, it will be hard to imagine a time when the school is not part of our daily lives. The staff are dedicated and tireless in the shared goal to ensure the students achieve the best in a thriving environment. As a parent I'm secure in the knowledge that my child is growing in a confident young lady ready to face the challenges of the world we live in.

This school showed the reality of what bullying is like in high school in 1999. I do not know how it is like now, but back then it wasn’t a welcoming school, even the staff wasn’t helpful as it should be for newcomers.

Best elementary school ever!
Teachers are nice and the school uses lots of technology.

There is a dress code, but mostly for the intermediate students. There is also a parent council and many field trips allow parents to join.

St Tims class of 2019!

5 daily prayers and jumaa alhamdulillah with a regular imam. May Allah bless this place of prayer.

May Allah guide them to the Sunnah and remove some of their misguided ways.

my daughter will be attending her first year this september 2019.
reading the recent reviews are really nice. just wondering if anyone is aware of dress code, and if there is a parent council? also process for parents attending field trips?

Flexible hours, professional teachers, helped to get into the university of my choice by increasing gpa.
Loved it.
Sangeeta worked out the payment plan for me as I was short of cash to pay in full.
Sangeeta is great and I wish her good luck.

Some teachers at that school are fabulous and some are compleatley rude. The school is quite large and they have many activities but it does not make the school any better when the principal and teachers are rude and not in their place.
