All About Nordale School

Nordale School is a Kindergarten to Grade 8 English language school located in the heart of the Norwood Flats area of St. Boniface, between St. Mary’s Road and Lyndale Drive in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Classroom teachers instruct all core subjects. The K to 5 students take part in a general music program focusing on movement, percussion and creativity, while students in Grades 6 to 8 take band. The school is also home to the Middle Years academic program for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Professional School.

The school was built in 1949, and has a current enrolment of 202 students and 18 teachers. The staff includes a full-time principal, full-time resource teacher, half-time guidance counselor, half-time reading recovery teacher and seven paraprofessionals. The paraprofessionals work collaboratively with the classroom teachers to support the educational and developmental needs of the students. A full-time secretary works in the school office, and a full-time day custodian and a full-time evening custodian maintain the school and the grounds.

The Middle Years student groups are known as the “Stars,” a reflection of the school’s goal to see our students shine throughout their academic and personal lives.
