Mission Statement
Total development of the individual child through quality education.

Philosophy of the school
The basic philosophy of Boucherville Elementary School is to encourage the child to develop intellectually, spiritually, socially, culturally, emotionally and physically to the best of his/her  ability in an environment of positive encouragement.

In order to encourage intellectual development, we stress academic achievement and we attempt to enhance the cognitive growth by challenging the child as much as possible.

• The spiritual needs of the child are met through the teaching of Catholic, Protestant or Moral Education programs offered in the school. The value of respect and tolerance for individual differences is encouraged.

• We strive to enhance the social needs of the child by encouraging autonomy in an atmosphere of warmth and understanding. In order to promote the cultural awareness of the child, the curriculum and school life will explore the many cultural facets inherent to our society.

• Self-confidence and acceptance of self and others are promoted in order to develop the emotional growth of the child.

• The physical education program, team sports and other activities enhance physical growth.

To accomplish these objectives, the staff, parents and principal work closely together and share the responsibility as much as possible.
