A Look at Ashbury
As an Educational Consultant I work with Canada’s top boarding schools. Here’s a look inside Ashbury. You’ll see Alec, the Admission Manager for student recruitment. You’ll also see Ottavia, a student who I had the great pleasure of working with. She was accepted at Ashbury, started there in September 2024 and is over the moon happy with her experience (view Student and Parent Testimonials, “Ghia Family”). I am so proud of her!
If you’re an international family, and your teen’s seeking a supportive and challenging environment that prepares them for university and beyond, Ashbury College is an excellent choice!
