Our Programs

As with each school in the York Region District School Board, Willowbrook Public School supports student learning through curriculum standards set out by the Ontario Ministry of Education and many other co-curricular activities.

Our school:

Promotes a safe and supportive learning environment. This is done through the board's Safe Schools Policy and Procedures and the Character Education Initiatives
Provides Special Education Programs
Provides English as a Second Language Programs
Provides a Before and After School Program with service provided by the YMCA
The school curriculum is enhanced by a "Partners in Action" approach to learning, integrating information skills into classroom programs, using a wide variety of print, non-print, and technological resources from the school's Learning Resource Centre. Curriculum related field trips and an arts program add an important dimension to the school.

We are also very proud to offer the following programs to our students:

Anti-bullying programs
Guest speakers and workshops
Student leadership program
Students may participate in a variety of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. Programs such as cross-country, volleyball, basketball, concert band and primary and junior choirs are offered. A parent volunteer coordinates service providers who deliver lunchtime and after school programs for interested students in the areas of arts and science.

Every student has the right to learn in a safe and supportive environment. The York Region District School Board has a Safe School Policy and a defined procedure to implement the policy. Both the policy and procedure support the view that student discipline involves a continuum of support including prevention, intervention and appropriate consequences. The YRDSB remains committed to the inclusion of anti-racist and equity education in its policies and programs.
