(Congratulations for earning the Gold Caps for Fast ForWord implementation.) "Congratulations for making the Gold Caps! We are reviewing all the Feb PT reports and are thrilled to see HHCS on the Gold Caps list for excellent implementations. The Gold Caps formula is complicated but basically means the "best of the best implementation" in all of Canada and US" We are very impressed and appreciated your hard work"

Hear what parents are saying...
"Starting with the principal, the school is very much focused on providing a very nurturing caring environment, a very positive environment, and that makes my son feel very secure to go to school, and I think that really makes learning that much more fun"

"Our two boys absolutely love their classes and come home bursting with excitement. The school's caring environment and strong commitment to working with each student as an individual are key elements. We appreciate the fact that HHCS is forward in its thinking, keeping in mind how technology in particular is shaping the future and seeking to prepare students to thrive in this different reality. It is a true partnership between the parents and the school. We, as parents, are kept abreast of all aspects of school operations. Reflecting back on the decision to send our children to HHCS, we definitely felt it was the right decision - a feeling that continued for weeks every time we dropped them off."

"HHCS has impacted our lives and the lives of our children. HHCS is a place where they are not only receiving an education but they are also being spiritually nurtured. Subjects are continually given a Christian perspective to encourage and challenge our kids to take the material that they are studying and reflect on what it further means as a Christian.

Staff and volunteers make HHCS a great place to be. Concerns are dealt with in a caring and loving manner and success is celebrated."
"I really wanted to highlight HHCS and its staff. HHCS has been such an important piece for us as a family. We could have gone back to the TCDSB and finished at no cost. But we needed the HHCS environment and its culture. Our son needed nurturing, support and an inclusive school. Transfiguration was none of those things for him. He was segregated in an AP class, pretty much had no friends, called home weekly saying he was sick etc… We honestly felt warmth and acceptance at the school and that's all we needed."
A & T Blandford-Grosse
"Our experience with HHCS has always been one of honesty and openness. Whether talking with the students, staff, or fellow parents, the atmosphere is always positive, friendly and upbuilding. Students are taught valuable lessons both in the classroom and on the playground as they interact honourably with fellow students and respect teachers. Staff take the opportunity to genuinely interact with the students and model Biblical principles when teaching. It's a blessing to be part of a school that is founded on Christian principles and continues to be built upon Jesus Christ."
