ABOUT THE SCHOOL Clearview Colony School is one of seven colony schools in our Grasslands community. 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.



It is a priority within the community to keep traditional values at the center of students’ learning experiences.
