We welcomed our students into our fabulous state of the art facility in September 2021 after rethinking the traditional materials/resources that have been used to "do school" for years. So, school at Maple Ridge S.S. looks and feels different from our students' lived school experiences. Our focus is on teaching our students transferable skills through curriculum-connected rich learning experiences. Transferable skills are the skills and attributes that students need in order to thrive in the modern world. Students and families will also notice our focus on developing cultures of thinking in our classrooms. We define cultures of thinking as places where collective as well as individual thinking is valued, visible, and actively promoted as part of the regular, day-to-day experience of all students.
Rural Barrie Southeast is a large area south of Kempenfelt Bay's south shore, and is currently the easternmost area of Barrie. The area is farmland and natural forested areas, with Hewitt's Creek running through the forested area, and the railway running adjacent to the creek.
