Schuler School pioneers triple grade system in rural Canada
Schuler School sixty kilometers northeast of Medicine Hat has grown from a one room schoolhouse into a modern campus with labs, a gym, library and video conferencing. The school serves 44 full time students, nine kindergartners, and nine staff under Principal Craig Corsie. A triple grade system groups students into Grades 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9, fostering mentoring, leadership, and cooperation. Strong community support from Schuler Hilda Associations, the Town of Schuler, the Parent Council, and local groups backs programs from sports to dramatic arts and science equipment, including SMART boards. The school emphasizes positive behavior with monthly rewards and a yearly yearbook reflects a shift toward technology and wider learning opportunities.
