Welcome
We welcome you to John Davidson School where we are working together with our Low German-speaking Mennonite community in and around Coaldale, Alberta. Thank you for partnering with us to create a safe and caring learning environment that supports the education of your children in pre-school through grade 12. At John Davidson School, we honor the values of the Low German-speaking Mennonite culture and collaborate with our parents to support their beliefs.
Fred Jack, Principal
Our Vision
Children are our future. Our staff is committed to supporting each student to reach his/her highest level of success in a faith based, positive, engaging, and goal-oriented learning environment.
Our Mission
John Davidson School staff encourages and supports students to be confident, knowledgeable, responsible and positive contributing citizens and learners in a diverse, dynamic world. At our school we follow the principles and pillars of the FISH! Philosophy. We will Be There, Choose Our Attitudes, Play, and Make Their Day in everything we do. Our students will strive to become increasingly respectful, responsible, contributing and successful Canadian citizens.
At JDS we support Low German Mennonite Learners through Faith Based, Alternative Programming! Check out Education Plan and Assurance Framework attached under the "Assurance Framework" category on our documents page!
