I’m sending this email on behalf on my son. It’s a proud day for me today as he just received his CPA designation today. Not that I want to minimize the work he has done to achieve this but rather to thank you for helping him on his journey to success. Eaton Arrowsmith was instrumental in helping him. I am so incredibly proud of him. It seems not that long ago I was sitting across from his elementary school teacher, and she was worried about his future. Look at him now!

The best thing we did for him was get him into Eaton Arrowsmith and work with the professionals such as yourself!

You ALL go more than the extra mile. You give ten extra miles to each student every day. Sometimes (maybe often) you also have to do the same for each family too!

You all care when you are exhausted. You all listen when you have heard enough. And you work to understand what motivates each student. You also provide encouragement when your emotional and energy tanks are depleted. Each student has a different level of coping each day or even during each class and each student has different learning disabilities for you to think your way around.

Thank you for choosing to do this as your jobs and for being truly compassionate and understanding individuals. Your care is active. This school is remarkable. It is growing more resilient and stronger. Each student is also gaining those characteristics. Eaton Arrowsmith is a positive solution.

I thank you for your incredible tolerance as each student wobbles towards these strengths that all of you already display. I thank you for your forgiveness for the many times (students and families) either deliberately or accidentally forget that you all have needs too! YOU ALL are AWESOME.

Again, on behalf of the students, and the parent body, thank you!

We were fortunate to enroll our child in Eaton Arrowsmith to complete a program of cognitive remediation for several learning disabilities. Everything about the school is excellent, from the principal to the teachers to the active parent group.

The teachers are really in tune with each child’s needs: cognitive, social and emotional. Over the last 23 years, our three children have been enrolled in a total of twelve schools from pre-K to college, public and private. In our experience, Eaton Arrowsmith is in the top echelon of schools. Our child has blossomed in this environment and is ready to enter high school in a college preparatory program.

I remember the feeling I had when I dropped Emily off for her first day at EA: relief. I could finally breathe knowing that she was where she needed to be to get better. We struggled with her behaviour and her inability to understand or communicate with us, so we couldn’t help her without being frustrated.

At age six she was already red flagged for depression or harming herself or others. I needed to know that if my husband Todd and I died, Emily would be okay – that she would be able to take care of herself. When I read about EA in Reader's Digest, it made sense: fix the brain and Emily will be better.

Emily spent four years at EA. We saw improvements in her ability to communicate and she had stronger abstract thinking skills and heightened cognitive awareness. I feel that Emily is getting more comfortable with herself and more confident. Her life is full now and I know that she will be able to take care of herself and even take care of me some day. I am so grateful for EA because I know that Emily would not be who she is right now if we didn't risk everything to send her to this school.

As a family relocating to Vancouver from the States, we were quite nervous about what we’d find. Leaving work, family and friends – not to mention our support group – to move to a new location seemed daunting. However, we could not have been more pleased with our relocation. First, Vancouver is a wonderful and welcoming city. Whether you like outdoor activities, indoor activities, food, music or theatre – it has it all. It’s safe, yet has an international flair. We met some wonderful people there who continue to be our friends.

The Eaton Arrowsmith was amazing. The faculty and staff at the school are top-notch. Unlike other schools, we found that the communication channel was very strong. We felt we had a true partnership with the Eaton Arrowsmith team at all times. The Arrowsmith program itself is truly breaking new ground for students with learning differences. We saw changes in our daughters that I do not believe we would have seen had we kept them in the schools they were in. These changes continue to this day.

For us, it started as a scary move, but ended as one of the most special and productive times we’ve had as a family. We hope that other families get to experience the same!

EA was a gift in every sense of the word: perfect timing, perfect place, and perfect staff. In short, it was perfection. We were sitting in our living room, and Fiji described in beautiful metaphor about how we had been asking Tsion to lift the sofa without giving her muscles the proper workout needed to know how to lift it. Ding! The light went on. It was clear that we needed to do something different – something radical and new. EA fit the bill on every level.

I cannot imagine where my daughter would be now – at age 13 and in grade eight – if she had not completed three years at EA. She is confident, strong, positive, diligent, perseverant, and believes in herself and her abilities. She has a will and a desire to do great things. EA gave her the tools and confidence to excel not only in school, but also in life. And so importantly EA gave her back her love of learning and discovery.

She is less resistant, more resilient, and willing to try in every area of her life. Thank you EA to your structure, your principles, and most importantly to who you hire! Your staff is the best EVER! They are professional and kind and they over-deliver and work with the highest levels of integrity. Our years at EA were amazing. I feel like we have an extended family through this meaningful experience. Thank you for everything!
