This year, École Sifton School has split our school into 6 different houses. Each house has a motto, a cheer and a crest. On Fridays, we work together in our houses on our ROAR (Respect, Ownership, Achievement and Responsibility). Click on the link below to see the crests for each of our houses!

About
Welcome to École Sifton School! A caring and safe environment for children from Pre-School to Grade 5. We are committed to a positive partnership between home and school.
Introduction
École Sifton School is located in the City of Camrose, and has been in operation since November of 1952. It is a member of the Battle River School Division family of schools.
École Sifton School is a fully dual track school with Preschool to Gr. 5 programs in both English and French Immersion. Our English program serves students who live mainly in the eastern side of Camrose and the surrounding rural areas, and the French Immersion program serves students living across Battle River School Division. Approximately half of the families we serve live within Camrose, and the other half is from the rural area. We are here to serve the educational needs of all our students and we welcome parental input. We believe your participation and input are essential elements in providing the best possible educational experience for your children.

Philosophy
It is our mandate to serve the École Sifton School community and to meet the educational needs of all our students. We strive to promote the academic, social, emotional and physical growth of our students while recognizing their unique individual characteristics.Responsible members of society respect the rights of others without sacrificing their own rights. It is our goal to guide students to be responsible members of society in a manner that promotes each individual's feeling of positive self-worth.
Learning is a life-long process and in today's changing world a continuing desire to find out and know could well be the essence of an individual's success. For this reason we strive to cultivate within each student an inquiring mind, tuned to a life-long positive attitude toward learning.
