At Britannia Public School, we believe that learning is for life, and life is for learning. L’apprentissage c’est pour la vie, et la vie c’est pour l’apprentissage ! Originally located at Rick Hansen Secondary School (September 1999), Britannia opened its doors to the community in the spring of 2000 and became a French immersion site in 2007. Our school supports a dynamic community of more than 800 students from a wide variety of multicultural and linguistic backgrounds. We also house two contained classes supporting students with autism who participate fully in the daily life of the school. Our focus is to create an environment that results in a high level of academic achievement, social responsibility and personal wellness. Britannia is also committed to helping every student realize their full potential, and to respect themselves, others and the environment.
The East Credit neighbourhood is in north central Mississauga, between Highway 401 and Highway 403. The East Credit River forms the western boundary, and Terry Fox Parkway is roughly the eastern boundary. Residential development in this neighbourhood started around the late 1980s and continued into the 2000s, so it is one of Mississauga's more recently developed areas. Homes include single-detached, semi-detached, and townhomes. The area features a golf course.
