At Schomberg Public School, we are committed to creating and fostering a warm, caring and supportive educational environment for your child. Throughout the year your child will be provided with many opportunities to grow intellectually, emotionally and physically within a framework emphasizing a positive self-concept. As collaborative team leaders, we strongly believe in and value a community school, where the school is an integral part of the community and serves students and their families by providing opportunities for life-long learning.

The school administration, staff and parents at Schomberg have worked hard over the years to develop a clear focus and shared values between school and community. We look forward to working with all of you and welcome your input as we develop goals, set priorities, and establish expectations aimed at enhancing student achievement.
