Continuing in the tradition of this exceptional learning community you will find that we focus on academic excellence, as well as responsible and cooperative behaviour. We are dedicated to promoting intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth in a safe and caring environment.
Our dedicated staff in our English and French Immersion Programs focus on continued professional growth to support teaching and learning that meets the Alberta Curriculum standards and the varied needs of our our learners. Further to this, our students enjoy opportunities to be involved in clubs and special events throughout the year. We are very fortunate to have a dedicated parent community that sees education as a shared responsibility between home and school. Regular communication is encouraged as an important part of a student’s learning journey. The active involvement of parents is much appreciated and plays a key role in the success of our learners.
