A new kindergarten to Grade 8 school will welcome up to 600 students in West St. Paul.
The province has announced plans for the new dual-track French and English school in the Meadowlands development in the RM of West St. Paul, just north of Winnipeg. The school will also include 74 infant and preschool child-care spaces.
“The announcement of a new K-8 school in West St. Paul is a welcome and much-appreciated investment in both the community and for the students of Seven Oaks School Division,” said Tony Kreml, superintendent, Seven Oaks School Division.
“This new facility will provide students with a modern, first-rate learning environment where they can thrive, reinforcing our commitment to a quality education.”
Design work on the new school is expected to start in the coming months, with construction expected to begin in 2026, noted the minister.
This is the third new K-8 school announced this week by the provincial government behind projects in Winnipeg’s Devonshire Park and Waverley West neighbourhoods.
