"Wonderful support for our child"

We've been impressed with the support and care Ellesmere College has provided our child with. The staff are always available to answer our questions and the Project Search program has been a fantastic opportunity for our child to gain real-life skills. We feel our child is being well-prepared for adulthood and we're grateful for the college's commitment to their needs.

"Mixed experiences"

We have mixed feelings about our experience at Ellesmere College. Some staff members were incredibly supportive, but we found others to be less helpful. The Project Search program was a highlight for our child, but we wish there were more opportunities for extracurricular activities. Overall, we're grateful for the college's efforts, but we think there's room for improvement.
