Captain Michael VandenBos is a dual track school (student population: 650), meaning both English and French Immersion programmes are available at this site. Our school doors opened on January 22, 2001 with a population of 435 students from grades JK - 8. Over the years, Captain Michael VandenBos has continued to experience growth in both programs. The school and its community work together to meet the academic, physical, emotional and social needs of our students. Staff dedicate each day to providing effective academic programs, delivered in a safe, nurturing environment for all children. It is our goal for each student to be a cooperative and productive member of society, and to live by the Snowbird motto, Flying High For Excellence.
