About Sun West School Division
Mission:
Learning Together
Vision:
Success for All
From Marengo to Davidson, Biggar to Beechy, Sun West School Division provides exceptional learning opportunities for over 5,400 K-12 students. Our team of approximately 800 educators and support staff engage in the very best teaching practices and strive to create opportunities for each student to reach their greatest potential.
We personalize learning with PeBL
There's no such thing as an average student. Every child is unique. And every child deserves to learn in a way that complements their strengths, challenges their weaknesses and enhances creativity and self awareness.
In Sun West, those beliefs drive us to engage in personalized learning. With thoughtful and careful guidance from teachers, students are gradually invited to begin making decisions about what, where, when and how they learn. We call this a 'transfer of responsibility' and it is done gradually, intentionally and as students provide evidence that they make responsible choices. With deeper, more engaged learning, our goal is to graduate confident and capable leaders that excel in 21st century skills such as communication, critical thinking and collaboration.
