We are thrilled to welcome you to the new Riverside South Secondary School, opening in September 2025! You'll find us at Spratt Road and Earl Armstrong Road in Ottawa. We're excited to become a key part of our community, focused on learning, growth, and getting involved.
More Than Just Books
At Riverside South Secondary, we believe learning is about more than just textbooks. We're building our school on important values like kindness, caring, understanding, respect, hard work, solving problems peacefully, honesty, and patience. These aren't just words for us – they're how we’ll treat each other every day, making sure every student feels supported and valued.
Helping Every Student Succeed
We have high expectations for our students in both their studies and how they treat each other. We want them to do their very best and reach their full potential! We know that getting there isn't always easy, so we’re here to help. We'll provide support for both students and families, giving everyone the resources and encouragement they need to succeed.
Being Part of Riverside South Community
As our community grows, we want to make sure our school feels like a close-knit family. We're committed to being a big part of Riverside South and making decisions that put our students first. Our partnerships with local groups, sports clubs, and cultural groups offer lots of extracurricular activities outside of class that promote personal development and community involvement.
A Place for Everyone
Riverside South Secondary school is a place where everyone is welcome and celebrated! We value all backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. We believe our differences strengthen our community. Through inclusive programs and cultural events, we want every student to feel like they belong and can share their unique perspectives.
Getting Ready for the Future
Our school will offer excellent academic programs designed to prepare students for what comes next. We'll have challenging classes, chances to lead, and real-world learning opportunities. We want to give our students the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the future.
We're working hard to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where every student feels safe, respected, and valued. We believe that by working together—students, families, staff, and the community—we can build a school that's not only great at academics but also a model of kindness, respect, and community spirit.
