An educational program at an elementary school with around 400 students, offering community opportunities and services, can significantly enhance student outcomes. This size is optimal for maximizing educational programming and support from external partners, and it fosters social interaction and student relationships.
The new school will be designed based on current educational research to create supportive learning environments. Features will include thoughtfully designed cultural spaces, dedicated science and art rooms, an innovative gymnasium, outdoor learning and play areas, collaborative workspaces, an efficient nutrition area, and offices for external partners, all contributing to a rich learning experience for students.
There are numerous partnership opportunities with health, Indigenous organizations, social agencies and private sector partners, which can greatly enhance the student learning environment. These partnerships will also bring additional benefits to the local community.
