Camilla School
Opened in April of 2021 in the hamlet of Rivière Qui Barre, Camilla School offers English programming for students from Pre-K to Grade 9. The school is a progressive, student-centered environment with a capacity for 600 students and serves the west Sturgeon County area.
The design of the school includes a bright spacious learning common, two modern science labs, a seven-kitchen foods lab with modern appliances, and several breakout spaces for students to work independently or in small groups. Teachers and students can access the outdoors from their classrooms to take advantage of hands-on, collaborative learning spaces outside.
At the heart of the school is a tribute to its rich history with a replica of the old Camilla school house that’s used as a breakout space. The school’s Indigenous connections are showcased throughout, and a Cultural Circle is used for many out of classroom activities.

Four Winds Public School
Opened in September 2019 in Morinville, Four Winds Public School offers English and French immersion programming for students in grades 5 to 9. The two-storey school has a capacity of up to 600 students and also has the potential for a phase 2 that would accommodate up to 400 high school students.
In the school name, “Four” represents the four seasons and four elements on the medicine wheel, and “Winds” represents the four directions of the world. The design of the school includes studios for dance and drama instruction, and classroom pods for robotics and technology. Several large indoor garage doors reinforce the open plan theme, intended to help foster expansive learning. Teachers and students are able to free flow, using the open space as well as the classrooms. Designed to connect students with nature, additional features of the school include an outdoor classroom, a learning garden and an amphitheatre.
Some of these spaces are named to honour individuals who were lifelong advocates in education, including the Donna Hunter Learning Commons, the Thelma Chalifoux Learning Garden and the Audri Kowalyk Science Labs.
