Nestled amongst the tall evergreens in the west end of the district, Caulfeild Elementary School is a short distance from local beaches and scenic Lighthouse Park.  The surrounding school grounds include two play fields, modern play equipment, forested areas and a stream.  After extensive upgrading of the existing building, the school is a spacious, modern facility.

Our Philosophy

We, the parents, students, and staff of Caulfeild School believe that the physical, intellectual, emotional, and social well being of individuals is essential for success.  We further believe that all individuals should strive for their personal best and that learning should foster joy and curiosity.

Therefore, our school should be one in which:

• The climate is conducive to purposeful learning, with everyone fostering positive attitudes, a sense of pride, and individual feelings of self esteem.
• The discipline is consistent, firm and fair, emphasizing respect and consideration for all, leading ultimately to self-discipline.
• The staff holds high but realistic expectations for student achievement in the core subjects, recognizing that children are individuals who develop at different rates.  They emphasize quality teaching as well as conscientious study, assess progress regularly, and communicate openly with parents about that progress.
• The staff collectively possesses the expertise to offer instruction in the core subjects, as well as enrichment, learning assistance, and technology. 
• The administration leads the school effectively, organizes the school efficiently, and communicates openly with the public.
• Staff, students, and parents are involved in a shared decision-making process in citizenship and responsibility.
