Introduction
École Mountain View School provides comprehensive programming in English and French Immersion from kindergarten through grade seven. In addition to a strong academic curriculum, students participate in character-building activities helping them become responsible, caring citizens in our community. Our ‘Virtue Program’ focuses on one virtue every two weeks with lessons and examples for how our students can demonstrate that they are socially responsible citizens. The École Mountain View School Student Council provides activities for our students while providing financial assistance to those less fortunate around the world; Plan Canada, UNICEF, and World Vision to name a few. We are proud to host the Mountain View Jr. ATB, a banking branch staffed by students; developing financial, work, and leadership skills. With committed parent support through the School Council and active Canadian Parents for French in partnership with the school, all classes enjoy many field trips, school-based activities and events, specialized presentations, and monthly hot lunches. Our broad range of programs includes Music, Physical Education, Computer Technology, Cooperative Learning, Musical Theatre, and Outdoor Education, lunchtime reading clubs, and intramurals. School staff works collaboratively in professional learning teams to provide consistency and continuity in academic programming ensuring ÉMVS is a wonderful place to work, learn, and play!
