Education:
When families consider moving, they often want to know what kinds of schools are in the area they would move to, and if these schools would be any good. Knowing this is important as it determines the quality of education their children would receive, thus effecting the kids’ future job prospects. Mississauga has many great elementary and secondary schools that pride in academic excellence, and which are in general very highly rated.
According to the statistics provided by the Frazer Institute, St. Edmund, Khalsa School Malton, Olive Grove, St. Rose of Lima, Kenollie, St. Christopher, and Plum Tree Park, are just some of the many schools that are in general rated above an 8.0 out of 10. St. Marcellinus, Cawthra Park, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, John Fraser, Gordon Graydon Memorial, Glenforest, and Port Credit, are the secondary schools in Mississauga which are rated above an 8.0. Mississauga also provides excellent post-secondary education, as one of the U of T campuses is located there. Being smaller than the St. George campus, the Mississauga campus allows students to get to know their professors well and receive a lot of help from them, and allows them to create close knit friendships with other students. The Sheridan campus in Mississauga is the “home of the business faculty, and its further expansions are to be completed in 2016”.
