Our School
Fallingbrook is truly a neighbourhood community school, positioned on a large property adjacent to serviced parkland. We accommodate many community needs, which encourages an ongoing dialogue between the school and the families of our community. Our goal is to establish a positive and enjoyable school climate for students, staff and parents alike. This positive school culture prepares our students to become life-long learners.
In addition, Fallingbrook will strive to provide a wide range of extracurricular activities in the arts and in physical recreation so that children will be motivated and encouraged to be responsible citizens of the future and well-balanced individuals within our school, country and the global community.
