Out of curiosity, is 1750 considered to be a small school? My highschool,
with 5 grades (9-OAC) is just shy of 2300, and is considered to be quite a
large school.
As far as languages go, in Toronto the languages schools offer tend to be
decided by the ethnic makeup of the student body - my school, being in a
European neighbourhood, offers 5 years of French, 4 of German, and 3 of
Spanish. Other schools in the city offer all sorts of crazy languages, for
anywhere from one to three years - a friend of mine has taken Finnish and
Tamil at her (very multicultural) school.
