"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." - George Bernard Shaw
A journey through the eyes of a Royal Vale student is one that is challenging, but the experience is well worth it.
Royal Vale is an extraordinary school. It is a school that prepares today's youth for tomorrow's world through a challenging curriculum and extensive extra-curricular program which provides students with the opportunity to assume leadership roles well after completing high school.
At Royal Vale Elementary, we offer after school enrichment programs that includes Hebrew Studies (PELO) or Language Arts in French or English, as well as parent-sponsored after-school enrichment programs. The Enrichment Program offers enrichment in the domains of mathematics, science, arts and physical education.
In High School, Royal Vale offers intensive studies in mathematics, science and compulsory extra-curricular activities. Research indicates that participation in extra-curricular activities improves academic performance. As of 2016, students can choose from different concentration options including music, drama and sports. Students will also be able to choose between our Français Immersion (70% French instruction) or Français Flex (30% French instruction) programs.
French, math and science, critical thinking skills, acceptance, democratic values, extra-curricular activities and leadership roles are all key elements of Royal Vale's mission.
Come and join our school family and experience the benefits and uniqueness of a small school with a big heart!

When walking into Royal Vale you wouldn't be wrong by thinking that it’s not much different from the other schools in the area. After taking a deeper look into the school, however, it becomes apparent that their hockey program sets them apart from the rest. Article by Greg Caltabanis

During the summer of 2015, some of our RVS students participated in the filming of the show Look Kool. It is an educational math show for kids that airs on TVO Kids. The host, Hamza, lead the RVS students with other children as they competed in teams of two in activities based on each week's episode theme. The Investigators kept their eyes peeled as they looked for math and geometry in places no one would have expected while doing awesome experiments with experts.
Look Kool would like to express a big THANK YOU to the Royal Vale students who participated as Challengers and Investigators in the filming of Look Kool over the summer. Great teamwork RVS students!!
