For over 40 years, WMS has provided vibrant communities and strong academics to every student and family, while embracing our shared faith and values. Now we are looking forward to the next 40 years - and we need your support.

Ensuring a bright future
Our Bedson Campus has served our students and families since 1986. But it's time to show the building some extra love.
The Foundations for a Lifetime Campaign completes three important projects at Bedson.
​
-
Install safer new steps, sidewalks and landscaping
-
Replace our failing HVAC system in classrooms
-
Install a wood gym floor over the old concrete floor to reduce injuries.
The Katherine Friesen Campus has seen multiple expansions since its acquisition in 1996. We recently completed phase one of our capital campaign, which included:
-
Expanding our classes to include grades 7 and 8.
-
A large addition featuring a high-school-sized gymnasium, student commons, and kitchen.
-
Renovating the old gym to include a dedicated music room and multi-purpose room.
Katherine's Garden
The new space, located on the south side of the building, is outfitted with 9 planted boxes for classrooms to plant, study, and harvest various flowers, vegetables, and shrubs. An outdoor classroom has been incorporated into the design, with a seating area and four-season chalkboard for outdoor learning year-round.
​
Thanks to a generous donation by the Friesen Family Foundation, the newly built garden will be a school and community space for learning, growing, and enjoying the beauty of nature.
