Parents’ Perspective
Parents are always on the lookout for opportunities for their child to grow, learn and gain confidence in themselves. Shad’s experiential learning provides opportunities for students to explore new concepts in a genetics workshop or a graphics lab or tour a high-tech firm. Students leave the program feeling exhilarated with new career ideas, new excellence seeking peers and a confidence to rediscover what’s possible.
Here’s what parents are saying:
“It’s a soft launch to university life… It’s like a testing ground for them to be able to navigate things on their own.”

“I think the lasting impression is that Shad is the stepping stone…Shad is the link between this high school mindset versus preparation for university, preparation for life”

“Kids don’t park their brains over the summer. So, it’s just a great opportunity to allow them to continue to expose themselves to different perspectives, knowledge areas and content experts that are going to be able to stimulate them.”
– Darin, Ontario
“I think Shad was just a step out of ordinary life and a chance for something new and inspiring.”
