New Waterdown Elementary School Boundary Review

New Elementary School in Waterdown

A new chapter is beginning for Waterdown families as we work to open a new Elementary School for the 2027-2028 School Year!

The new school in Waterdown will be built in the Mountainview Heights neighbourhood, and will be located at the intersection of Skinner Road and Great Falls Boulevard. The new school will create 504 new student spaces for children in Kindergarten to Grade 8, and will include a new 88-space child care centre with two preschool rooms, two toddler rooms, and an infant room. The anticipated date of opening is the 2027-2028 school year. Construction is anticipated to start Fall 2025. Learn more here.

Boundary Review for Waterdown Elementary Schools

In preparation for the opening of the new school, there will be a boundary review for the following elementary schools in Waterdown: Allan A. Greenleaf, Balaclava, Flamborough Centre, Guy B. Brown, and Mary Hopkins.

A boundary review is a public review process undertaken to create or modify the attendance area of one or more schools. The changes may be necessary due to new school construction, balancing enrolments, addressing site or facility constraints and supporting evolving program needs.

As part of the process, a Boundary Review Advisory Panel will be established this Fall. Members of the Panel (formed through School Council) will participate and provide feedback on the boundary options for review. It is expected that the boundary review process will be completed in early 2026.

More information about proposed boundary recommendations will be shared throughout the process.
