What Sets Us Apart
Instruction at Regal Road Jr. P.S. meets the diverse interests and learning needs of all our students. Authentic experiences are built across the curriculum and students have opportunities to take part in various music classes, clubs and sports. Strings, band and steel pan classes for grades 5 and 6 students are taught by itinerant music instructors. Clubs and sports are led by teachers who volunteer their time. Clubs include: Green Club, Magic Club, Knitting, Games Club, Chess, Tai Chi, Fabric Arts, Scrabble, Girls Club, Plasticine Art and Oware. The Parent Volunteer Literacy Program has been a successful program for several years at Regal Road. Through this program, adults read with students one-on-one in order to help them encounter greater success in literacy. As a result of our volunteer support, more than thirty students enjoy the benefits of reading with adults from our community. Parents have also supported the school’s implementation of current technology. Regal Road currently has 12 SMART boards and our plan is to continually acquire more over the next few years.
