• We create learning environments which are founded upon positive relationships and where learners feel successful, are free to take risks, and become increasingly responsible for their own learning.
• We work to develop a sense of community which extends beyond the school.
• We grow in our understandings as we all are lifelong learners: staff, students, parents, and community members.

School Philosophy

Hawkwood School is the focal point of the community where all members are valued and where everyone is a learner. We believe that the most effective learning environment begins with positive relationships among students, parents, and staff who work together as a team. Relationships are built upon openness, trust, respect, and care for one another.

Children are preparing to become lifelong learners by developing a foundation of skills, knowledge, and understandings. Students are encouraged to take increasing responsibilities for their own learning and to reach their fullest potential. Learning is celebrated, expectations are high, and diversity is honoured.

The teaching and learning at Hawkwood School is informed by the Alberta Program of Studies, provincial and Calgary Board of Education directives, current research, our school development plan, our strengths as a professional learning community, and the children with whom we work.
