Markstay Public School is a Kindergarten to Grade 8 school with boundaries from Old Wahnapitae to Warren and from Markstay to the West Arm.
We provide a nurturing environment which promotes learning as a lifelong process and enables each child to be an educated, confident, self-directed, positive member of an ever-changing global society.
Markstay offers instruction in English but also provides a Grade 4 to 8 Core French Program to students.
