Maple Ridge Elementary School, Calgary, AB

Maple Ridge is an innovative learning community consisting of 14 classrooms from Kindergarten to Grade 4. We are proud to offer the Science Alternative Program for communities in most of SE Calgary. We believe students and their learning is at the core of everything we do and the decisions we make. Our school motto promotes the learning ideals of “Imagine, Inquire, Innovate, Inspire”. Our values strongly support learning which is inspired through scientific thinking. This includes solving authentic problems, exploring the natural world with curiosity and wonder, expressing voice and communicating our understandings with others. Students are empowered to ask deep questions within their learning, create new ideas and work collaboratively to inspire others in the process. We believe these skills are built on strong foundations of science, literacy and numeracy.
