Montrose School provides a positive inclusive learning environment that ensures quality teaching and engaging learning experiences for all students. We believe it takes a community of caring people to raise a child. We know that for each child to do their best, the school, family and community partners must work together effectively. Staff must model caring relationships, positive beliefs and expectations while providing multiple opportunities for students to participate and contribute in meaningful ways. We use a variety of resources and tools to ensure that we develop critical creative thinkers who are able to discover, explore, investigate and reflect on our ever changing world.

Montrose is a fantastic little school in the Northeast. We believe in meeting every child’s needs through strength based educational programming. We welcome all students and strive to met their personal learning style through a variety of hands on and creative ways to make learning meaningful and engaging.

Our core values and beliefs are modeled after the Tribes Learning Community philosophy where we build inclusive learning communities through positive daily community building activities. Our day begins in the gym as an entire community where we do or daily physical activity through dance and other activities that get our blood pumping to ensure fresh oxygen rich nutrients are giving our brains what it needs for the school day ahead. After our short workout, we sing O Canada and have our morning announcements before heading back to class! Morning toast is ready and waiting for the students thanks to the assistance of parent volunteers every morning!

Our students share daily appreciations with one another in order to set the positive tone you will feel as a soon as you enter our school. The staff also share appreciations for the students and each other daily in order to build excellent role modeling and build positive relationships with each student. We believe that we must have a positive, trusting relationship with each and every one of our students in order to ensure we are offering engaging learning opportunities for all.

Our school offers fantastic programming from kindergarten to grade 6 with the help of community partnerships to enhance the learning objectives daily. Our partners include in school mentoring from Big Brothers and Big Sisters, family supports from Métis Child and Youth, afterschool programs from the City of Edmonton, YMCA, Kids in Action, and Abbotsfield Youth Programs. Almost every day after school there is a program to allow all students to learn new skills!

Have a wonderful year!
