Delton Elementary School, Edmonton, AB

Literacy is a strong focus at Delton School. It is our goal to ensure that all students have 21st Century Literacy skills that will enable them to have a successful future and have many choices open to them. We want students to be critical thinkers, problem solvers, collaborative team members, excellent communicators and digital learners. Along with a strong focus on academics, student learning is enriched through many field trips, hands on activities and special events such as artists-in-residence, author visits, cultural and theatrical performances. Students have daily physical activity and a healthy lifestyle is promoted. We believe every child can be successful. We strive to encourage students to believe in themselves and to strive to be the best they can be. It is our job to build strong relationships and to create an environment where students feel safe so they are willing to take risks in their learning.
