The class was asked to choose three wishes as they were studying the story "Cinderfella."
Michael (name has been changed) chose:

1. more books
2. more Oxford and
3. more hockey!!

A few words from some of our parents…

Until my son "Jacob" started at the Oxford he hated reading. In fact, I would continue to buy him books, take him to library and basically bribe him to read but it was awful. He just hated when it was time to read more than he hated that it was bedtime. After attending the Oxford for only 2 months I went to check on him after bedtime to discover that he had been reading in bed prior to falling asleep. Between his bed and the wall I had found all of his books instead of on his bookshelf collecting dust and now he reads to me everynight before bed. I was amazed at the difference the Oxford Learning Centre has made. He is eager to attend his classes and has more self-confidence than ever before.
