Principal's Message

Welcome to École Queen Alexandra School, home of two alternative programs -  Logos Christian and French Immersion! 

In September 2024, our school will be offering the French Immersion Program for Kindergarten, Grades 1 to 4. As the first group of students moves into the next grade, we will expand the Program by one grade level until we reach Grade 6.  

Our staff, student and parent communities are excited about the new programming. We look forward to co-creating the future of École Queen Alexandra School with our new students and their families. 

École Queen Alexandra School fosters high academic learning through excellence in teaching and commitment for the growth of each student as they excel socially, academically and physically.

Our school focuses on the importance of teaching children how to become optimal learners. We learn about the brain, self-regulation and use the MindUp and Positive Behaviour Principles programs to provide skills and strategies for student learning. We are committed to creating a thriving, dynamic and inspiring educational environment that produces self-directed learners to confidently prepare them for their future.

In collaboration with parents and our community partners, students maximize their potential by being supported through differentiated programming and developing behaviours necessary for their success in school and their chosen career pathway.

The Logos Christian Program allows students to develop academic skills while integrating biblical principles into all areas of study. It provides an opportunity for students to live out Christian values, morals and beliefs in supportive and nurturing environments. The Logos Christian Program is a non-denominational faith-based program welcoming all families and religions.

The French Immersion Alternative Program is one I know well. Prior to coming to Queen Alexandra School, I celebrated 27 years of teaching experience in French Immersion and French as a Second Language programming. French Immersion is a program of choice that begins in Kindergarten or Grade 1 and continues to Grade 12. In this program, French is the language of instruction for core subjects. 

After completing the French immersion program, your child will be:

• fluent in French
• able to live, work and pursue post-secondary studies in French, English, or both languages
• part of and have an understanding and appreciation of Francophone culture
• proficient in English
• able to appreciate other languages, cultures and communities in Canada and around the world

I'm elated to be working collaboratively with our Logos Christian and French Immersion families. Our staff looks forward to welcoming new families to both alternative programs! École Queen Alexandra School is a fantastic place to learn!
