    Impressive Facilities

    The facilities of the school are impressive and the teacher student relationship are strong. When I first started attending Merrifield college I was nervous but I knew the school was going to give me the best education possible

    Run while you still can

    Merrifield is a school that values the rich and learners who have parents working at the school. A lot is kept under wraps especially when it comes to students committing criminal offences, they’re given a slap on the wrist because of how much their parents contribute to the school. The racism is unfathomable, from teachers to ignorant students being racist. The school claims to be diverse and “takes issues such as racism seriously” yet has been the most noticeably racist school I have ever atte...

    Merrifield and It’s Pros and Cons

    I Feel that Merrifield is an okay School but at the same time I also Think that the amount of money we pay is outrageous for the education they are getting. I rather stay Anonymous for this Review but my Child came to me today saying that He/She would get in trouble for Not having a name on Their LunchBag. I also heard that they had A Fun time at Camp. I was also told that The year before so to speaking last year they didn’t go to Camp but the Exact same grade Went this year and My child was upset but I hope this Review puts things in perspective.

    Excellent

    Merrifield is a challenging school that keeps up with international schools and prepares its students for university. Small classrooms enable teachers able focus on each individual students and help students produce excellent marks.

    Merrifield College

    Honestly speaking from my own perspective of the school, the education in some subjects is really good but we get that type of division between white and black people. Merrifield doesn’t offer a racism and discrimination policy at the school which makes cases of racism or discrimination hard to be dealt with. Many incidents have occurred which I have heard have been swept under the carpet but overall, Merrifield’s academics are good but they do have social issues that need to be dealt with.

    My Merrifield experience and review.

    I am a student at Merrifield. I moved to Merrifield from a public school in grade 4. The classes are very small which allows for individual attention on the students of the school. Coming from a school where I was bullied I was nervous to move but when I got there it was like I was part of the family in a second. The school focused on me as a student and was extremely welcoming and understanding of the fact I suffer from anxiety, depression and ADHD disorders, they even had a school counselor fo...
