Learning is in our Nature

Located in the attractive village of Burton on the shores of the Arrow Lakes and the Columbia River the school is ideally situated to use its surroundings to enhance our primary education program. Forests, creeks, valleys, mud flats, beaches and the river provide the perfect environment in which students can expand their learning. Sole access to the whole of the school and its grounds plus the surrounding forest and beach being only five minutes away is perfect for our students to explore outside of the classroom.
