River Heights Elementary School
Engaged Thinkers and Ethical Citizens with Entrepreneurial Spirits
We invite you to join our school community, where curiosity is nurtured, creativity is celebrated, and reflection fosters growth. Guided by our motto, Explore, Create & Reflect, we believe in empowering students to become lifelong learners and resilient problem solvers. Our instructional programming utilizes current research-based literacy, including foundations in the Science of Reading and numeracy experiences that aim to deepen conceptual understanding through a variety of concrete, representational, and abstract learning experiences. Research supports the idea that children learn effectively through teacher-led activities, explicit instruction, and ample opportunities for student-led experiences, all driven by an authentic purpose. Instruction at River Heights School focuses on developing a strong foundation of knowledge and skills to support critical-thinking skills and academic achievement. Our cross-curricular approach to education encourages students to make meaningful connections across subjects. We take pride in nurturing independence and interdependence, encouraging collaboration and community within a safe, caring, and inclusive environment. We live the River Heights Motto every day - Explore, Create & Reflect! At River Heights School, we offer the following programs: Kindergarten Play and Learn Grades 1-6 Music & Library Daily Physical Activity Pursuit Experiences Hockey | Ringette Academy Student Leadership & Clubs YMCA Before & After School Program
