Upper Canada College - Seeking opinions
Hello,
My son has been accepted into UCC for high school which feels like quite an accomplishment. And yet, I’m hesitant.
Pros:
- great teachers, low student teacher ratio
- outstanding facilities
- high standards including from peers
- networking
Cons:
- elitism and conservatism (not wrong, just not our leaning)
- bro culture
- breeding a mindset of superiority and entitled privilege vs. humanism, compassion, egalitarianism and empathy for those unlike oneself
I could be off on some or all so I’d appreciate knowledgeable insights. Thanks very much.
