CLES is a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) associate school in British Columbia, this means that we have completed the required actions to achieve this accreditation, and we have committed formally as a whole staff to work together towards the UNESCO school vision. We are committed to fostering global citizenship, sustainability, and inclusive learning. Our school values, GROW (Generosity, Resilience, Ownership and Wonder), are grounded in the UNESCO philosophy and help guide our learning culture and daily interactions. We have approximately 125 students, including 37 Indigenous students, and a Late French Immersion program. Additionally, we have a Strong Start program that operates in our school and is integrated into school routines where possible; staff members work closely with Early Learning staff to facilitate smooth transitions into Kindergarten.
