IB Diploma Programme
The first two years of high-school at Lynn-Rose together was an amazing experience. After nine years of growing and learning in the sister school, Rowntree, I joined Lynn-Rose. I came to Lynn-Rose to start high school, and it was there that I found a warm, strongly supportive environment. What I describe here is just not a slogan; it is, in fact, the community living in Lynn-Rose.
Joshua, Student
This is a school where the administration guides the students in making real decisions concerning leadership and responsibility. The administration's faith in us through numerous opportunities for meaningful tasks has enabled me to become the Head of the Model UN Club, the Prime Minister of the Student Council, and the Vice President of HOSA. The positions I hold are a reflection of the tools this school has given me. As a current 11th grader, I am certain that Lynn-Rose is an excellent school environment that cares for its students and fosters a positive, uplifting community. It is an environment that not only prepares you for the years ahead of your university life but also moulds your character.
Lynn-Rose graduates progress to leading universities in Canada and around the world, equipped with the qualifications and confidence to thrive in their next steps.
