Nose Creek Elementary School, Airdrie, AB

The Nose Creek School Mission is to create a community of life-long learners where discovery happens in a safe, welcoming environment and all students are challenged to achieve their potential. Nose Creek Elementary School opened in August of 2006 within the confines of another school. In April of 2007 the present physical building opened and was inhabited by 192 students. The student population is rapidly rising and expected to exceed 600 students in the foreseeable future. Located in Southwest Airdrie, Alberta the school is surrounded by daily construction and the development of infrastructure needed to support a growing city. There are approximately 800 single family units to be developed around the school along with hundreds of apartments, town houses and condos. Each week and in some cases each day brings new families to the school from all over Alberta and the world.
