Mission Statement
At
St. Charles Elementary School, our focus is on enhancing the child's physical,
emotional, creative, and intellectual growth, in a warm and caring atmosphere,
where students and staff are encouraged and expected to achieve at their
maximum level of capability.
St. Charles is
one of three elementary schools in the town of Amherst, Nova Scotia, and
is easy to
recognize because
there is a mural of children playing painted on the side. This mural was
created by students of the school under the direction of local artist
, Shirley Hallee .
St Charles has a population
of about 200 students with nine full time classroom teachers for primary
to grade six. This is the first year we have had a French Immersion primary
class in the school and it provides French instruction for all interested
primary students in the area. We also have three specialists which provide
Physical Education, Music, and Core French ( 4-6). We are fortunate to
have a Reading Recovery teacher and a Program Support teacher. All of the
school is under the excellent guidance of principal, Marlene Barnett. Click
