I love Greenview Elementary. It's been so long but the teachers were great. Most of them were the…read moretype you could joke around with and they didn't take themselves to seriously. The best part was the playgrounds. They were massive. One big park and one smaller one for the younger kids. They have tons of soccer fields and couple of baseball diamonds and a skating rink which is fairly new and probably among the better ones in the city. It comes equipped with benches and all. OH and a big hill for winter if you want to go sledding during recess. They also had a huge empty field but now condo's have gone up in that field but there is still more than enough empty land to play on. I don't know if they still get off early on Thursday's but if they do.. you're welcome. Is it obvious I went here?

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!

Okay, I'm not blood-related to any of the kids who attend the Cogito Program at Mount Pleasant…read moreElementary. But I used to work at the after-school care here, and saw what the kids are like after a hard day of Cogito. Cogito is a special academic program that uses explicit phonetics and repetition strategy to get the material into the kids' heads. They have regular homework everyday, and often the kids would do their homework in the daycare before their parents picked them up. I don't know about you, but I was never that diligent when I was seven years old. While I'll admit the program works, because these are some of the smartest kids I've ever seen, it does take a toll on them. The poor children are probably mentally exhausted, and want nothing more than to unleash all their pent-up energy from the whole day. Unfortunately right after school hours, when they're with the daycare staff! I think it's important to remember that all kids learn differently, so while Cogito may work wonders for some, it may not be the greatest for other kids, especially the ones who need to learn through hands-on activity. On that note, I will add that it's great for getting kids to read early. There's nothing like a five-year-old teaching you the difference between the "a" and "ai" phonemes!

I went here almost 6 years ago. I think I had a good experience! I know most of the teachers that…read morehelped me left, but this school was so fun and the teachers (most of them) were super nice. Ms. Sankey, Miss Maggie, Ms. Duenas, Ms. MacKinnon, Ms. Budzak and Ms. Grondin were all teachers that had a huge impact on me. This is in a safe and super nice area and the school is so fun! Unfortunately half the park they raised 10 years for burnt down, but I still think it's a good park without half of it. The parents and teachers work tirelessly for a good school and park so I truly believe they will raise enough money soon to rebuild! Love this school!

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.

We love the playground/park at Albert Lacombe School…read more It's easily one of the best in St. Albert with easy access to the city trails connecting Albert Lacombe to Sir George Simpson, the outdoor Grosvenor Pool, and even all the way down to the Sturgeon River and St. Albert Place (think best farmer's market ever!). The only downside is that the playground is on sand a little below ground level so it can be a bit of a swamp when snow melts in the Spring or if there is a big rain storm. But otherwise you've got soccer fields, baseball field, basketball hoops, swings, and a large play structure to keep the kiddos busy for hours! We love to bring a picnic and a blanket (well, Mom does anyway - ahhh, reading a book in the sunshine while the kids play).
