Mayland Heights School is a dual-track school which offers both English and French Immersion programs for children in Kindergarten to Grade 6. Most students in the Regular (English) Program live in the Mayland Heights community with some attending from our bussed communities in order to access French-as-a-Second-Language instruction in grades 4 - 6 (150 min./week); students attending the French Immersion Program come from the communities of Abbeydale, Albert Park/Radisson Heights, Applewood, Coral Springs, Dover, Erin woods, Forest Heights, Forest Lawn, Inglewood, Marlborough, Marlborough Park, Mayland Heights, Monterey Park, Penbrooke Meadows, Ramsay, Red Carpet/Mountview Mobile Park, Southview and Vista Heights.

After completing Grade 6 at Mayland Heights, students in the Regular Program move on to Sir John Franklin School (which is the designated Arts Centred Learning, Junior High School Program for students in the north of Calgary); students attending the French Immersion program move on to Bob Edwards School. From Sir John Franklin, students move on to Crescent Heights Senior High School; from Bob Edwards, French Immersion students move on to Lester B. Pearson Senior High Schools.

School Mission

The staff at Mayland Heights School promotes cooperative education with the home and community. We help students identify their passions in learning through an inquiry-based approach to learning (http://www.thirteen.org/edonline/concept2class/inquiry/index.html). We provide leadership in supporting students to develop:

A strong sense of self-worth.

Their unique skills, abilities, and talents which will benefit themselves and society, as acquired within the context of the Alberta Program of Studies for Elementary Schools.

A positive attitude towards active lifelong learning.

Independence in learning, problem solving, and in choosing appropriate behaviour for given situations.

A cooperative attitude and respect for others and the environment.
