Education in Choiceland
The education system services a Kindergarten to Grade 12 population in one combined school. In a survey conducted by the University of Saskatchewan, the students stated that they found that the combined school and the number of students/staff worked well and they liked the size and security that the school offered. They continued with the parents comments which included the reasoning that the one school system provided an improved sense of community and well being and communications for all students.
An active student body boasts of their inter school recreational skills by holding a large number provincial banners in Volleyball and Badminton, which line the gymnasium.
