Fernwood Elementary School is located on the North end of Salt Spring Island. We have 208 students from Kindergarten to Grade 5. Our school offers many opportunities for young children to explore their interests. In addition to dedicated classroom teachers and support staff, we offer a beautiful learning garden and greenhouse program, sports teams, a student leadership program, and peer helper support.
Student learning is enhanced by the use of technology including drones, coding robots, ipads, and other tech resources, a school librarian and library clerk, Learning Services staff, community based counsellors, and community partners including one to one volunteer readers and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
We are part of the Gulf Islands School District and their website has valuable information for parents, teachers and students www.sd64.bc.ca
