About

Our school in Didsbury offers programs from Pre-K to Grade 4 where we provide students with a caring and engaging learning environment. We believe that each of our 375 students in our school community are unique and our staff works as a team to respect and nurture this uniqueness. We actively teach our students to be effective problem solvers in and out of the classroom. Parent involvement in our school is welcomed and encouraged: from volunteering in class to joining our Parent Council.
