  • SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

    SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

    Lansdowne School exists to facilitate Kindergarten to Grade 6 education focused on developing students into well-rounded learners. We take an open approach to learning that encourages students to be curious, engaged, motivated, and secure with themselves.

    We believe in inclusive learning that supports students’ unique backgrounds and experiences. We facilitate community building within and outside of our school, and our students understand the importance of their role as community members.

    We foster a welcoming environment that provides learning opportunities focused on developing well-rounded children with a global perspective. Students leave Lansdowne School with a better understanding of who they are and the confidence to pursue their interests as they move through their educational journey.

     

    School Values

    Learning — we embrace rich learning environments. Knowledge is gained through different experiences that don’t just come from books and computers. We believe learning should encompass the academic, social, creative, and physical and mental wellbeing of a student’s development. 

    Community — whether it’s within the walls of our school, or outside of them, fostering a culture of belonging and inclusivity is second nature at Lansdowne School. 

    Inclusivity — we recognize and embrace the uniqueness of each student at Lansdowne School. Diversity of background, thought, and experience makes our school a richer place to learn. 

    Responsibility — we are respectful, welcoming, and kind. We hold ourselves accountable and acknowledge we have a duty to be good global citizens. 

    Safety — Lansdowne School is a safe space. Students, teachers, staff, parents and visitors feel welcome and secure. Each member of our community feels safe to express themselves and grow and learn to achieve their best.

Please Join Us!

OPEN HOUSE:
Kindergarten Open House for the regular program will be held  on Thursday, February 5th, 2026 from 5:00-6:00 pm. 

Cogito Information Session for Kindergarten to Grade 5 to start at 6:00 pm.  PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN as this is an information session for parents only.

Note:  Cogito Program will expand to include Grade 5 in the 2026-2027 school year.

KINDERGARTEN COGITO 'MEETINGS FOR SUCCESS':
If you have completed the digital registration for the Cogito program, you will need to bring your child to school for a "meeting for success."

The meetings for success will provide us with information to discuss your child's readiness for the expectations and demands of the program.   Confirmation of dates and times for Meetings for Success for Kindergarten children will be announced soon.  

School Administration will use the evidence and observations collected during the ‘Meeting for Success’ to engage parents in a conversation about the child’s readiness for the expectations and demands of the program. These meetings are an important way to connect with our new families and students, and this connection is vital to student success in the Cogito program.

GRADES 1 - 5 NEW REGISTRATIONS:   New registrants interested in the Cogito Program can be asked to provide a copy of their latest Progress Report and complete a questionnaire. School Administration can use this to engage parents in a conversation about the child’s readiness for the expectations and demands of the program. Levels of achievement are not used as the sole determining factor for the child’s readiness for the program.

Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year!

I am truly honoured to get to work alongside you and your child(ren) as they progress through their elementary educational journey. Kindergarten to Grade 6 are foundational schooling years, as they help to shape learning attitudes and behaviours that will support academic growth for years to come.

Lansdowne School has an incredibly dedicated and exceptional staff who are committed to the success of every student. As a cohesive team, our goal is to ensure each child who walks through our doors experiences success and joy in their learning. 

We value the important relationships we have with our families, partner agencies and community stakeholders. Our wish is to work together with you to create a supportive and enriching learning environment for your child(ren). We look forward to connecting with each and every one of you in the weeks ahead. 

This is going to be an exciting year of learning and connection, and we’re going to soar through it in the ‘Jay’ way—with courage, community and curiosity! 

Yours in learning and partnership, 

Christina Ennis-Davis
