Maple Ridge is an innovative learning community consisting of 14 classrooms from Kindergarten to Grade 4. We are proud to offer the Science Alternative Program for communities in most of SE Calgary.
We believe students and their learning is at the core of everything we do and the decisions we make. Our school motto promotes the learning ideals of “Imagine, Inquire, Innovate, Inspire”. Our values strongly support learning which is inspired through scientific thinking. This includes solving authentic problems, exploring the natural world with curiosity and wonder, expressing voice and communicating our understandings with others. Students are empowered to ask deep questions within their learning, create new ideas and work collaboratively to inspire others in the process. We believe these skills are built on strong foundations of science, literacy and numeracy.

School Development Plan
Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.

Our school also prepares a results plan, which looks at our previous school year. It shows our students’ achievement and progress in meeting the goals and outcomes as set out by the CBE and Alberta Education, outlines some of the highlights of our school development plan and gives an overview of our school.
