Welcome to Guru Angad Dev Elementary School
Our school opened its doors nearly ten years ago. The school is based on Sikh values and provides a well-rounded educational experience for students from the South Asian community while connecting them to the mainstream multicultural community.
Why You’ll Love It Here
Our school brings students, teachers and families together to create a safe, inclusive and respectful learning environment. We foster a positive mindset and a love of lifelong learning.
Guided by Sikh values — truth, tolerance, respect and compassion — we shape a community where learning and growth go hand in hand.
Staff are valued for their ideas and contributions. We recognize achievements, support innovation and offer regular professional development. The school promotes a positive workplace culture, encourages community involvement and respects personal time. An open-door policy ensures communication is open and every voice is heard.
What We Value
Our mission is to constantly foster character building, nurture scientific temperament, and strengthen the social bonds of our students.
We pursue these goals by emphasizing the importance of academic work, revision, homework, additional preparation as well as addressing and engaging in the cultural aspect of life in our province. This ensures a balanced development of the personality of each student as they develop and evolve into young adults.
We guide students to help them adjust to a tough, changing world; socially and emotionally. We help our students master the expanding horizons of technology and to become representatives of the Punjabi ethos and culture.
What Makes Us Unique
Our school offers diverse learning opportunities to support each student’s academic, personal and social growth.
We’re proud of our innovative robotics program, where students compete in regional and national events, and our school garden, developed with Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC), which teaches sustainability, ecosystems and food science through hands-on learning.
Beyond the classroom, students can join after-school clubs like cooking, reading, art, gatka, dilruba and singing. Our athletics program includes soccer, basketball and dodgeball, with friendly competition against other schools.
Here, students are encouraged to learn, explore and create in meaningful, exciting ways.
