Welcome

Welcome
Escuela Mill Creek is proud to be an International Spanish Academy. At Escuela Mill Creek, we believe that student excellence can be acheived through the Spanish Language. Our bilingual program operates with 50% of instruction is in Spanish and 50% in English. Core subjects such as Math, Spanish, P.E, and Health are instructed in Spanish, and Social, Science, and English Language Arts are instructed in English. We understand the importance of learning a second language in the development of the student cognition and students skills. Our goal is for all students, as they leave school at the end of grade six, to be capable of conversing in Spanish and are motivated to pursue further Spanish programming.

Principal's Message
Welcome to the 2021/2022 school year at Escuela Mill Creek.
This school and school community continues to be an amazing place for our children to learn and for our community to come together. Although coming together remains a challenge due to the ongoing pandemic, we have still found a way to support one another with kindness and compassion.
Our school is a special place where we come together to learn. Constructed on the historic Mill Creek school site in 2018, we are priveleged to combine deep-seated traditions with a modern learning environment. I believe Escuela Mill Creek to be one of the best schools in the world where students can learn in an open and bright environment that supports the whole child. Having achieved LEED silver certification, our sustainable school building is a reflection of our values as an open culture that is planning for a bright future.
As a program of choice our learning community comes from all over the city of Edmonton with concentration in and around Ritchie/Mill Creek and Mill Woods. Spanish unites our families and the Spanish language literacy is the academic foundation upon which student learning is built. From this foundation we offer interventions for students who need it, and we offer extension opportunities for all students to excel.
Our mission is to create a learning environment which is safe and caring, that encourages every child to achieve at the highest level and to be their best. We are also committed to equipping students with the kindness, character and skills that they need to live a fulfilled childhood on the path to becoming contributing citizens in the future.
The staff at Escuela Mill Creek, administration, teachers, educational assistants, and custodians, are here for the students success and well-being. We facilitate student safety, happiness, and success. Collectively, we are dedicated to open communication and partnership with families and to creating an equitable and rewarding learning experience that is rooted in the Spansish language and enhanced by Spanish Art and Culture.
This wonderful project does not work without the engagement of families and community. Gracias familias for always being there, all together, todos juntos!
Sincerely,
Steven Greene
