This location is in the County of Newell and is approximately 45 minutes outside of Brooks Alberta. These schools follow their own colony school calendar that aligns with community observed holidays and traditions.Colony schools serve children from within the Hutterite community, from kindergarten to Grade 8, offering a unique opportunity to engage with their values and traditions through their youngest members. Students typically begin speaking a German dialect, so teachers focus on developing English skills in speaking, reading, and writing.The student group is close-knit, similar to small rural schools, where children of all ages experience their school days together through learning and playing. This multi-grade environment encourages collaboration, independence, and strong relationships among students.It is a priority within the community to keep traditional values at the center of students' learning experiences. This includes a limited use of technology, placing greater emphasis on cultural learning and hands‐on, face‐to‐face interaction. The result is a focused setting that minimizes screen use and supports meaningful,



relationship‐based learning.ABOUT GRASSLANDS PUBLIC SCHOOLS:Grasslands is a public school division serving the City of Brooks and surrounding County of Newell, with a student population of about 3,577.
