WHY CHOOSE SASKATOON PUBLIC SCHOOLS? At Saskatoon Public Schools, our vision is that every student is known, valued, and believed in. This vision can be achieved by focusing on four student goals:
· · · ·
Academic Excellence Character Engagement Well-being.
We are committed to creating learning experiences that inspire all students to reach their potential. We believe in safe, caring, and accepting schools. Our goal is to provide school environments that are safe and caring places where excellence in learning is a priority and everyone feels included. Our schools are open to all. We want every student to feel respected and have a sense of belonging.
We inspire our students to reach their potential. Our elementary schools and collegiates are home to several unique academies and programs for students with specific interests. Many of these programs can only be found at Saskatoon Public Schools. Whether it is challenging students through our SAGE program, providing valuable, hands-on learning through apprenticeship courses, or introducing them to their natural environment through our education for sustainable development offerings, we are providing experiences students will never forget. We believe in being culturally responsive. We want our learning environments, our classroom teachings, and our instructional practices to be respectful of our diverse community. We collaborate with community members on the shared goal of developing strong learners, schools, and systems. Being more responsive will improve student achievement and engagement, with an emphasis on First Nation, Inuit, and Métis students.
