Royal vale Celebrates

In order to mark its 38th anniversary recently, Royal Vale School students were allowed to wear school colours or merchandise in lieu of their uniform tops. They also had a couple of students make an announcement on  the intercom system. 

This was the message that was also included in a school newsletter.

Over the years, Royal Vale has grown and evolved from an elementary school into a vibrant learning community that now supports both primary and secondary students. For nearly four decades, the halls have been filled with curiosity, creativity, and determination. Generations of Royal Vale students have learned, grown, and gone on to graduate as confident, capable individuals who continue to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond. Today, they celebrate not only our school’s history, but the amazing students, dedicated staff, and supportive families who make Royal Vale such a special place.

On January 14, 1988, the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal (PSBGM) approved a community-based request to open a French Immersion alternative elementary school with a math/science concentration. The following September, Royal Vale Alternative School opened at 5540 avenue Dupuis. In June of 1991, the first Grade 6 class of 28 students graduated. Then, in September 1992, the school grew to welcome three Secondary 1 classes, and it moved to its present location at 5851 avenue Somerled. Since 1988, the school has grown from 125 students to its present-day enrolment of over 900.
