Winlaw Elementary School is located in the community of Winlaw, B.C. in the heart of the Slocan Valley. The school has 100 students with five multi-age classes. Our beautiful playground consists of two soccer fields, a state-of-the-art revitalized playground, an outdoor classroom gazebo, and a forest. Our school is situated across the road from the Slocan Valley Rail Trail and a 10-minute walk from the Winlaw Nature Park which enables us to take advantage of many outdoor education opportunities.  

Winlaw Elementary has been a StrongStart site for 17 years. Winlaw Elementary School is also one of the Seamless Day pilot sites in British Columbia.  We are now in our third year operating the Winlaw Our Place After School Care program from 2:00-5:00 in our K/1 modular classroom from Monday-Friday each week. Our Winlaw Staff highly values building trusted relationships with our students and families and that everyone needs to feel connection and belonging to develop resiliency and confidence to become powerful learners.  

At Winlaw Elementary School we are committed to producing critical thinking, problem solvers who can collaborate with their peers in a respectful and kind manner. Our hope is that our students will leave Winlaw as mindful, good citizens with a strong grasp of content and the skills to become lifelong learners. As a staff, we are committed to providing a safe and caring environment for all our learners.
