Schools

When searching for a home to buy or lease, I understand how important schools are for families with children. It is usually one of the first questions my clients, friends and family ask me when viewing a home, “How are the schools in the area? Buyers are looking to purchase a home in a specific neighbourhood because they want their children to attend the local school. Here is a comprehensive list of sites that provide information about schools, including rankings by the Fraser Institute.
