A Montreal school is working to educate children about online safety and addiction by starting them early. At East Hill Elementary School in Riviere-des-Prairies, Grade 5 students in the media lab are taught to think before posting online and design and code their own video games meant to quiz third graders about online safety.
The English Montreal School Board has announced that Kindergarten Registration Week (for four and five year olds) for the 2026-2027 academic year will take place from Monday, February 2 to Friday, February 6. If one child from a family is already enrolled in a particular school, a sibling registration period will take place a week earlier.
Big things are happening within STEAM (Science Technology Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Education at East Hill Elementary School! Having successfully completed the first of a three year pilot project, East Hill has formally adopted the STEAM pedagogical approach. This method favours a collaborative, interdisciplinary, hands-on, process driven, and problem solving oriented approach.
