At St. Edward's, we take pride in delivering a comprehensive and dynamic educational experience that adheres to the Manitoba curriculum. Our primary focus spans Grades 1-8, where academic excellence is nurtured through a robust foundation in English Language Arts (ELA), Science, Social Studies, and Math – the core pillars of our curriculum. We set high expectations for our students, striking a balance that challenges them to excel while ensuring a supportive learning environment.
In addition to the core subjects, we recognize the significance of a well-rounded education. At St. Edward's, Visual Arts, Music, Physical Education, and Religion are integral components of our curriculum, fostering creativity, physical well-being, and moral development. Our commitment to academic achievement extends beyond textbooks, encompassing a holistic approach that prepares students for success in both their academic and personal journeys. Join us as we empower young minds and inspire a lifelong love for learning.
The rhythm of creativity and the joy of music echo through our dedicated music program, offered on days 2, 4, and 6 of the school cycle. Led by our passionate part-time music teacher, Mrs. Martin, our program spans from Kindergarten to Grade 6, providing students with a comprehensive musical education.
In our engaging sessions, students explore the art of rhythm, refine their vocal talents, master the recorder, and experience the magic of playing xylophone-type musical instruments, along with a variety of other instruments. Our music teacher's expertise and enthusiasm create a dynamic and enriching atmosphere, fostering a love for music that lasts a lifetime.
Beyond the classroom, our music program extends its reach with inspiring field trips to the symphony, ballet, and opera. These outings not only enhance musical appreciation but also offer students a firsthand glimpse into the world of professional performances, igniting their imagination and sparking a lifelong connection to the arts.
Join us at St. Edward's as we harmonize education with the magic of music, nurturing young talents and fostering a deep appreciation for the arts in every student. Come see us in our Spring Music Celebration.
We embrace Manitoba's rich cultural tapestry by introducing our French program starting in Grade 4. Our students embark on a linguistic and historical journey, delving into the French language while connecting with the unique bilingualism and heritage of our province.
Our French classes go beyond language acquisition; they serve as a gateway to understanding Manitoba's bilingual history and cultural diversity. Exciting developments are underway as we plan to extend our French program to encompass all grades, from Kindergarten to Grade 6. This expansion reflects our commitment to nurturing an appreciation for Manitoba's unique linguistic and historical landscape.
Join us in celebrating the fusion of language and history at St. Edward's School. Our goal is to equip students not only with linguistic skills but also with a deep understanding of the cultural roots that shape our great province. Explore the past, present, and future of Manitoba's bilingualism with us, as we cultivate a learning environment that honors our local history and prepares students for a dynamic future.
We believe in fostering not just athletic prowess but also nurturing essential virtues that extend beyond the playing field. Our Athletics Program, launching in Grade 4, emphasizes values such as sportsmanship, respect, teamwork, and integrity, seamlessly integrated into every aspect of our sporting events.
As students engage in Cross-Country Running, Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer, Badminton, Knights of Columbus Track & Field, and Indoor Track & Field, they not only hone their physical skills but also cultivate virtues that shape their character. We understand that true success in sports goes beyond winning; it lies in the lessons learned, friendships forged, and the development of qualities that last a lifetime.
Even without a traditional gym, our dedicated team has turned this challenge into an opportunity to instill resilience, determination, and a sense of fair play. Our commitment to virtues extends to all grades with intramurals organized during lunchtime, providing a platform for friendly competition and the reinforcement of positive values.
Join us at St. Edward's School as we celebrate not only the joy of sports but also the development of well-rounded individuals who embody virtues that extend far beyond the confines of any athletic arena. Here, the heart of our sports program beats in sync with the principles of character, sportsmanship, and mutual respect.
At St. Edward's School, we embrace the ever-evolving landscape of technology, recognizing it as a powerful tool in the hands of our students. Our balanced approach ensures that technology is seamlessly integrated into our academic curriculum while emphasizing responsible usage.
From Grades K-3, students explore the educational potential of iPads, fostering interactive and engaging learning experiences. As they progress to Grades 4-8, access to laptops becomes an integral part of their educational journey. Additionally, starting in grade 5, our students delve into the world of programming with hands-on experience using Sphero Sprk+, and Micro Bits.
Throughout their time at St. Edward's, students are taught not only how to harness the benefits of technology but also the importance of using it responsibly. We instill a sense of digital citizenship, guiding our students to navigate the online world with integrity, respect, and mindfulness.
Our classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards, enhancing the learning environment and providing opportunities for dynamic and collaborative lessons. It is essential to note that, at St. Edward's, we view technology as a tool, not a toy. We believe in striking a harmonious balance between technology and traditional academic areas, ensuring a well-rounded education that prepares our students for success in the digital age and beyond.
