River Valley School is an independent Pre-JK–Grade 6 school in northwest Calgary where childhood is cherished, every child is truly known, and learning is rooted in curiosity, connection, and wonder. At River Valley School, the wonder and curiosity that children possess is celebrated and stimulated through our inquiry and project-based programming, where learning is focused on big ideas and questions that engage them.

A quick look back at this earth science lab from the past school year. The students used sand to test out how wind and water move sediment around, watching erosion and deposition happen right in front of them. It was a great way to see how the Earth’s surface changes over time.

Because they only get one chance to be little. 💛

The early years are about SO much more than preparing for Kindergarten.

They’re about muddy boots and big questions. Belly laughs and first friendships. Caring teachers who truly know your child. The confidence to try something new, the freedom to explore, and the joy of discovering the world one wonder-filled day at a time.

At River Valley School, every experience is intentionally designed to help children discover their individual best while building the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

Looking back at this landforms lesson from earlier this year. Our students built their own landscapes and tracked the flow of water to see how geography shapes our world. It doesn't get more hands-on than this!

A little summer throwback to this math class from the past year. Students were using hands-on manipulatives to wrap their heads around algebra and figure out how we assign values to variables. It was one of those great moments when a tough concept clicked into wonder.

Yesterday, our River Valley School summer team had the privilege of attending the Simon House Recovery Centre Sober Stampede BBQ, and we're so grateful to have been part of such a meaningful afternoon!

As neighbours in the community, we've long admired the incredible work that Simon House does to support individuals and families on their journey of addiction recovery. Their compassion, commitment, and belief in hope and healing make a lasting difference in the lives of so many.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Simon House for welcoming us with such warmth and hospitality. We're proud to have such an inspiring organization just down the road and are grateful for everything you do to strengthen our Bowness community!

Happy Stampede, Calgary! 🤠
