This is an amazing school. I wish my daughter could stay here forever!…read moreMy daughter has disabilities and the staff have been so supportive, proactive, and generally wonderful. She is flourishing with the right support and absolutely loves school. There is a large, beautiful "outdoor classroom" with play structures and basically a lovely mini-forest to play in. It is in a lovely, quiet, safe neighbourhood. Enrollment is small, so the teachers and staff know all the kids and parents very well. Lots of field trips, enrichment opportunities and clubs for a variety of interests. I love that they use SeeSaw and Edsby to keep you up to date. Staff is always available and prompt to answer questions and concerns. I literally have nothing negative to say about this school. It is a gem! My only concern is that one day she will have to move on!

Champlain School teaches the 7 Grandfather teaching to all students and teach their students to be proud of their cultural backgrounds, and inclusive to all. They even hold community pot luck dinners about 2x a year. This school has a free breakfast program for all students who want breakfast, if the student is late they r welcome to have breakfast during morning recess. Students r also offered a fruit or vegetable snack every morning (courtesy of the Canadian Nutrition Council). Parents are welcomed into the school everyday where they could spend time in a staffed Parent room where there are resources available for them to access, or just to connect with other parents and have a cup of coffee. The parent room also offers different activities for parents with preschoolers who need some adult interaction, thats been a lifesaver for some Moms. Champlain students produce amazing work, some of which was recognized by the Canadian Rights Museum in Winnipeg! Awesome! The school is very secure with a 'buzz in' system and security cameras throughout, including outside. Keep up the good work Champlain!!
