Canadians, he said, would also meet people "from all over the world" and have the opportunity to forge internaâ€" tional contacts that might prove useful to them later on in life if they worked in an increasingly shrinking world marketplace. Forrester explained that the number of teachers also varies according to enrolment but usually it‘s about 14. "The teacherâ€"student ratio is comâ€" paratively low," he said. "I try to keep classes under 25 but I‘ve had classes t SHOPPING CENTRE with as few as three kids." For the sciences and maths, he hires seasoned teachers but brings in younger, energetic university graduates ‘"with modern ideas" for the more active drama and humanitarian classes. Although some of these may not have their teachers‘ degrees, many of them become so enthusiastic after a year or two at Bronte College that they enrol in teacher‘s college, he said. Forrester said he picks them on the basis of their ability to understand how students feel when they are forced to adapt quickly to a totally new environment in Canada.
