St Margaret's School also boasts several spe-
cialized facilities such as their modern ath-
letics centre which includes two gyms, as
well as a stage for performances. In addition,
the campus is equipped with a Culinary Arts
Centre, which also utilizes food grown in
the school's greenhouse.
One of the most recent addition to the
school's facilities was the Junior School in
2006. The Junior School houses more spe-
cialized rooms focused on arts, sciences and
student support, as well as St Margaret's Ear-
ly Learning Centre.
THE ST MARGARET'S
COMMUNITY
Creating a strong community bond within
the school is a key aspect of St. Margaret's,
bringing together boarding students, local
students, as well as the staff. The benefits ex-
tend beyond social development alone, and
harkens back to the school's dedication to
how girls learn most effectively.
"We have 350 students," says vanHardenburg.
"129 of those are boarders who live with us on
campus for the school year, and 221 of those
are day students from our local area."
