About WMS
School Culture
We are a vibrant school community, and the involvement of parents is important to the success of students. It is very important that our International Students and parents make friends and experience belong as part of our school community, and know that this is vital to learning English. We foster a culture of acceptance and inclusion, and expect that our International Students will join us with that in mind.
WMS is a premier private K-8 school in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We offer a challenging program with high academic expectations.
Our faith is expressed in the Mennonite/Anabaptist tradition, and we seek to integrate our faith in all we do, with an emphasis on discipleship, peace, and stewardship.
With faith at the core, we offer the full Manitoba Curriculum, pursuing excellence in every aspect of school life. We seek to foster in each of our students' curiosity, gratitude and joy.
