​Mission Statement

Hidden Valley Elementary School is a kindergarten to grade seven school nestled in the woods on the traditional territories of the Ta'an Kwäch’än Council and Kwanlin Dunn First Nation.   

Our community is honoured to learn and play on the beautiful landscape surrounding the school where we are committed to nurturing the whole child, in a joyful, inclusive, and culturally rich environment.


​We are committed to meeting students where they are at to support their academic, social, and emotional growth, while building a strong foundation in numeracy and literacy, where every student is at grade level. Hidden Valley staff strive to empower students to become Dän Shawthän (good people).

​Our Values

​Land Stewardship
At Hidden Valley the school community is grateful for the opportunity to explore, play and learn in the beautiful, forested areas and trails that surround the school. As a school, we recognize the importance of promoting the long-term health and sustainability, and ecological balance of the land that encompasses the traditional territories of the Ta'an Kwäch’än Council and Kwanlin Dun First Nation. Student learning is centred around the responsibility we all have as citizens to keep the land viable for generations to come.

​Considerate and Kind

Hidden Valley Elementary School promotes a culture of kindness and consideration for each other. We strive to have our community think about the others around us and to practice compassion and empathy. Being considerate and kind is not just about avoiding negative actions, it is also doing things that make people feel valued and appreciated.
 
Helping and Service
Students and staff at Hidden Valley Elementary School strive to selflessly contribute to the well-being of others and community. Helping, sharing, and/or providing service to others means to act without expecting anything in return.
 
Inclusive
At Hidden Valley Elementary School, we strive to create an environment where every community member can learn, thrive, and grow. Creating and being part of a community that honors and values individual strengths and uniqueness, allows us to be stronger as a community when we fortify and celebrate the individuals in our collective community. Hidden Valley Elementary honors diversity.
