An engaged and inspired learning community for all
We believe our learners must be positioned for success in their future.
Facilitating a new approach to education, Sackville 20/20 is integrating a community supported education model through community partnerships and collaborative use of resources. Together, we are boldly challenging the status quo to spark change in our education system, pre-k to post-secondary and beyond.
Community-Supported Education: Our Model

Sackville 20/20 offers an exciting proposal for the Sackville community. It is based on extensive research and community consultation, and is a new approach to education that embraces community input. We know that Marshview Middle School will be closing, so this is a wonderful opportunity to work together to modernize educational, recreational and cultural facilities and programs in our town.
We imagine a beautiful Community Learning Campus in Sackville, with educational facilities that meet the needs of local students and teachers, and additional amenities that benefit the community. It’s an exciting vision that allows lots of community involvement in its design, and is about doing what’s best for our children.

The brochure can be downloaded and provides an overview of the vision for 21st century learning in Sackville.
“We find when we talk about 21st century skills, people often reduce them to skills for the workplace and skills involving technology. And we’re really talking about skills for creativity, for civic engagement, for social life—the full range of experiences that young people will be involved in in the future.”
Modern school facilities
Beautiful middle school learning space designed by FNI.
Inspiring learning spaces in innovative schools move beyond traditional classrooms and desks. Let's invest in beautiful new infrastructure rather than repairing crumbling old school buildings.
Meaningful learning
Experiential learning.
A learner-centred curriculum that's creative, relevant, and interesting will engage students and help them find their path in this ever-changing world. Let's use modern ideas to update Sackville's curriculum.
