But they are pretty effectively and extensively utilized by the students under good supervision from outstanding teachers. With these 'old' lab equipments, UTS managed to grab gold, silver and brown medals in IOC.

2. students are same as our children, not very polite as some people say.

F1 students have been in the school for less than 2 months. Did you notice the confidence and pride appearing in the majority? If you have talked to these 'look alike' students, you'll see the differences. They are highly spirited and intelligent souls in addition to being diligent and open. Asking how many activities they cover in a single school day, you'll be amazed.

3.it is a completely private school now,tuition will be $15,000 next year.

It has always been a private school and it is at the low tuition end, if not the lowest, amongst its type.

4. Only a few students get admissions from top us universities each year. Admission rate is very low. Most students go to UT after their parents pay almost $20,000 fro them each year. Not worth it.

UTS is not built for feeding US universities. It is, like many other private schools, to nurture the future leaders, in a more academically inclined way. If going to US universities is your goal, you can set out an early plan and I am pretty sure you can make it.

5. So many chinese students.

This is due to the first round of the exams, which seems pretty tough or too big of a challenge for others. Only gifted and diligent kids passed it and the reality turns out more than half of them are Chinese, like it or not. Talking with their parents, you'll realize how exceptional they are.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

The current principle was the principle of UCC (Upper Canada College).The affiliation agreement makes the UTS can do fund raising for itself which teachers think is better than before. (really?)

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛1， Its tuition fee was only around $7000 3 or 4 years before.
记得98年，我看到一本杂志，提到其学费是7000。我不相信直到3，4 年前没有涨过学费。
2，In addition, parents need to donate several thousand dollars each year
今年是我女儿的第三年，在过去的时间，我从来没有被要求过donate several thousand。自愿是另一回事。
3， 我一直认为，中学是人生很重要的阶段，人生观，世界观在这个时期初步形成，所以，这个阶段的人群，朋友很重要。这个学校的孩子家长的期望值都比较高，这也促成了他们从很小(F1，F2)就在讨论以后学什么，作什么。这是我想看到的。
4，我不认为中国人多有什么不好，中国人的家教和传统让我们更放心将孩子放出去。难道你愿意看到孩子从14，15岁就开始性行为吗？在今年的couse curriculum night上，一位家长问老师，what age do you expect to have sex? 一位家长答：40。这是一个令所有家长头痛的问题。
5，学校的设备是陈旧，因为学校的历史快到100年了，但不影响结果就应该不是大问题。


如果何国源也嫌中国人多，就不会把孩子送去了。

学校每年有一次SHOW，由学生自己组织，导演，今年在1月的27号，是看到全体学生能力，面貌的好机会，有兴趣的不要错过。我可以帮忙买票。更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛UTS is unique from other schools since it has its own curriculum, and that is one of the reason why most students go to UTS after lack of interest from their old schools.

While appearing somewhat bland in appearance, UTS has a wide variety of labratories and resources which all students and staff in the building have access to, including the library, the numerous computer labs, science labs and the midi lab.

Students at UTS work and play in a friendly environment. UTS provides unique classes for the students such as the Romance of Antiquity class for Grade 7's, community service opportunities starting from the first year of attending the school as well as several student guidance councillors and Guidance classes for specific years.

UTS students may not want to have an education at American schools, because they are usually awarded with partial of full scholarships from U of T, which is now considered as one of the world's top 20. They also generally graduate from U of T with a bachelor degree and persue a Master degree or PhD at American Universities.

UTS might not appeal to some people, since its tuition fee seems unrewardingly high, but students there are comfortable with their peers and their teachers. It is an amazing school which helps boost not only a child's academic merits, but also aids their self-esteem, confidence and guides them through the difficult pre-teen and teenage years and leads them to a glorious future.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
