Our School

About

Four Winds Public School offers English and French Immersion programming for students in grades 5 to 9. “Four” represents four seasons and four elements on the medicine wheel, and “Winds” represents four directions of the world. The school focuses on providing equitable education that promotes growth, innovation, and an inquiry-based approach to learning. Four Winds also offers STEAM, Performing Arts and Sport for Life programming. The school includes studios for dance and drama instruction, classroom pods for robotics and technology, and open collaboration spaces for our Career and Technology Foundation options. Several large indoor garage doors reinforce the open plan theme, intended to help foster expansive learning. Teachers and students are able to free flow, so they can use the open space as well as the classrooms. Designed to connect students with nature, additional features of the school include an outdoor classroom and a learning garden. These dynamic spaces create unique learning experiences to help our students CONNECT, IGNITE, AND RISE. Some of these spaces are named to honour individuals who were lifelong advocates in education, including the Donna Hunter Learning Commons, the Thelma Chalifoux Learning Garden and the Audri Kowalyk Science Labs.
