Welcome to Walton Elementary!
Here in the heart of Coquitlam, we’re all about curiosity, kindness, and a whole lot of learning fun. Whether it’s exploring new ideas in the classroom, making friends on the playground, or showing off our school spirit. Our amazing staff is dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming place where every student feels at home.
Walton has one of the highest student populations in SD43. Roughly 55% of our students attend the Neighbourhood/English program and about 45% are enrolled in the Mandarin Bilingual program. Students in the Mandarin Bilingual program receive an equal amount of instructional time in both English and Mandarin.
As part of the Directions 2025 initiative, we are currently identifying and defining three goals in the following areas:
1) Intellectual Development: Reading; 2) Human and Social Development: Focus on personal Identity and valuing diversity.; 3) Indigenous Learners and Indigenous Ways of Learning: Indigenous Principles of Learning.
Best Regards,
Marco Jankowiak
Principal
