I walk by this beautiful downtown Catholic elementary school often and have always been intrigued…read moreby its portable sign outside, which often displays messages not just in English and French, but also in Spanish. Turns out they provide not only a French Immersion program but a Spanish bilingual program as well - the only one of its kind in the country - to approximately 430 students from kindergarten to grade 6. But being childless - and intending to remain so - it's the building itself that interests me moreso than its current educational offerings. There have been some additions over the years, such as a gym, assembly hall and extra classrooms, but the main building, a lovely brick structure, has been operational since 1915. This neighborhood was once the centre of a thriving French Catholic community but its presence has been reduced to just the school, nearby Eglise Catholique St. Joachim and its rectory, and various place-names that pay tribute to th area's history. The school, like many other institutions around Alberta and beyond, is named for Bishop Vital-Justin Grandin, a pioneer Oblate missionary from France who became bishop of St. Albert in 1871 and passed away in 1902.

Great school. I have had all of my kids attend here. The program is strong and the staff are…read morefriendly and actively involved. The school even has great volunteer-run extras like the Skipping Club and the always excellent Strategic Gaming Club. The Academic Challenge programs leads to Steele Heights Jr. High and M.E. LaZerte Sr. High School later on. Although we haven't used it they do have an Out-of-School-Care program on site. If you are looking for a school in the Londonderry/McLeod area it is well worth a look.

My daughter has been coming to this school for 1.5 years and I have to say this is such a wonder…read moreschool! The teachers are wonderful caring people and the principal is lovely as well. It's a kindergarten to grade 6 elementary school. One of the best things about this school is they have full day kindergarten. It was one of the reasons I chose the school. The fact that we only live a few blocks away was just a bonus. There is a fairly new playground and a huge field for the kids to play in. The kids get to do community walks in the neighborhood, and sometimes deliver cards and such to homes in the area. A wonderful small elementary school. Happy that my daughter will get to enjoy this school for years to come.

Bob T's Review is entirely inaccurate. I had attended the school at the time of that principal, and…read moreyou were ALWAYS allowed to ride your bike, skateboard, Etc. Also, At that school, teachers and staff don't arrive before 8:00 Am, so I do not know how it is possible for that to have happened. You couldn't go in puddles at the time because tons of students were falling and getting wet, and removing all access is what was best for everybody! That principal was the kindest principal I have ever had, and he never raised his voice, let alone screamed at children, saying "I CONTROL YOU. YOU HAVE TO BE ON SCHOOL PROPERTY." As well, Skateboarding on the road can be illegal in some cases, so that teacher was just looking out for students to ensure ultimate safety! In That school, they cannot make you stay late, and they probably wouldn't. AND CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS SCHOOL IS IN SAN DIEGO! As well as my own review, The school is not my favourite since the previous principal left. Poor planning, field trip forms coming home the day before the trip, and other things similar to that. Overall It is a decent school though, and again, Bob T's Review is Completely false information!
