Philosophy
Parkdale School supports and promotes an individual learning style by focusing on and fostering the student’s intellectual and social development. Parkdale’s goal is to help each child reach his or her potential by providing a rich, bilingual academic program that will encourage the development of the skills necessary to work in a technological society.
Parkdale School aims to provide a safe environment, which encourages learning, inclusiveness, caring and respect for all in partnership. We recognize individual and collective successes and foster pride and loyalty for each other, our school and our community.
Parkdale School is a Community Learning Centre (CLC) school. We foster relationships with community organizations that provide support to our students, parents, and community.
