Teachers at Alderwood Toronto are committed to the belief that children learn if they can and addressing any lagging skills to enable children to succeed. Our teachers are exceptional in character and experienced and knowledgeable in their fields. "As a private school inspector with the Ontario Ministry of Education I have had the opportunity of inspecting Madison Academy a few years ago where Ms. Sheileen Krone was Principal and owner. One thing that stood out most for me was the integrity with which Ms. Krone managed the school. Student learning and student success were her primary objectives. Small class sizes, a robust academic program and teachers who were well qualified to deliver the program in a supportive and caring environment - these were the elements that contributed to the success of her school. And of course, it was a staff she had selected that worked as tirelessly as their principal in getting the students to learn. Ms. Krone refused to compromise her standards even though it hurt the school financially, and the students knew they had to complete the course expectations before they would be allowed to attempt the next course. One can be assured that students enrolling in Alderwood Toronto Private School will receive a sound education; one that focuses on the needs of the child and where programs will be individualized so that students will experience success. We need more schools like Alderwood in Ontario." Greg Coutts; former Principal, York Catholic District School Board. "I met Sheileen Krone while studying at Madison Academy years ago, and even today, we still remain in touch as friends. She is one of the most genuine, helpful and amiable persons I've had the pleasure of knowing during my short time in Canada. As a foreigner from halfway around the world, I am truly grateful for her hospitality, generosity and professionalism in giving me the best environment for learning, as well as the opportunities to bring some precious memories home. But above all, I know that she is a dedicated mother who wants nothing less than the best for those under her care. Her wonderfully smart children are the best living examples, and I have been privileged enough to know this first hand. I would trust her with my own." Adrian; former student.
