Crawford Bay School
Welcome to the new school year!
Lots of projects already going, new initiatives are being set up and old traditions coming back...This year our secondary students are able to take elective courses in Spanish, Philosophy and Media Production. We are looking to rebuild the mentorship program here. If you have an area of expertise that you think might be a fit for a student to learn from you on a regular basis over the winter, please reach out. We have students interested in an incredible range of things, from carpentry to Japanese Language, music, animal husbandry and more.
