This testimonial was written by her mother who is also a graduate of Rockway.
We sent our daughter Yoanna to Rockway for Grade 10 because I graduated from Rockway too! I was an international student to attend Rockway in '90s, hence I'm grateful to let my next generation also be a part of Rockway's family. I left Canada for a long while after graduation from university. At Rockway, the teachers are kind, helpful and they encourage students to reach their potential. The school provided a lot of resources and designed a suitable teaching strategy to support my child through some difficult times. This kind supportive approach really helped to build up her confidence, and helped her become a happy, independent learner. I would also highly recommend Rockway's homestay program. In the homestay program, my daughter lived with a Canadian family and this provided a good environment for her develop her personality and self management.
At last, we sincerely appreciate Ms. Jill Sauer and Mr. David Lobe. They are so kind, patient and responsive to provide great support to our family and guidance to our daughter at every moment when we have any questions on academic and personal issues. We also thank you Jill for arranging a mini birthday party for Yoanna in Dec 2022 to make this a memorable day for her at Rockway."
