While regularly ranking among Alberta’s top schools, we are as different from other schools as our students are from one another. At River Valley School, we celebrate children for who they are today.

The wonder children possess is encouraged, stimulated and celebrated through our inquiry-based programming where learning is focused on big ideas and questions that engage them. We know that when a child’s curiosity is piqued, it makes for deeper, more profound learning.

As a community, we learn and grow together respecting the values, opinions and beliefs of all students, teachers, administrators, and our parents. We work together in close partnerships to create a school where learners feel known, safe, confident. Within our supportive climate, students become joyful, passionate learners and know they are safe to try new things, make mistakes, discover new approaches, and explore innovative ways of seeing, contributing to and changing the world. We invite you to visit our school to witness the wonder.
