selected by Today's Parent Magazine as one of the
Top 25 Schools in Canada

Each year, Today’s Parent Magazine calls for nominations of Canadian schools which are great places for children. ESOMS was selected as an “all-round cool school” due to the exceptional participation and variety of opportunities for middle school students. We are very proud of this recognition.

Students have countless opportunities to explore their interests at this vibrant middle school. For a half day every six days, they pursue options such as curling, multimedia, robotics, indoor soccer, nutrition and aerobics. Meanwhile, the school’s annual human rights initiative challenges them to creatively depict such injustices as the Darfur crisis, the Holocaust and Second World War internment camps in Canada. Two out of three students play on school teams, and kids, teachers and parents mastermind a huge January theatrical production. Last school year’s five performances of Anne of Green Gables sold out 800 seats at Winnipeg’s historic Pantages Playhouse Theatre.

WOW The school uses community resources as much as possible, whether it’s having an arrangement with a soccer complex or a nearby hockey rink.
