At Dorval Elementary, we foster the academic and personal growth of each child in a safe and respectful environment. We promote a collaborative relationship among students, staff and parents. We strive to connect with our community, cultivate responsible citizenship and raise each child's global awareness.

ACC Sports is a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire life-long physical activity and health by teaching fundamental movements and athletic skills in a fun and inclusive environment.

Doval Elementary was chosen as one of the six elementary schools for the Champions for Life 20-week pilot program during the 2013-2014 school year. As part of the after-school daycare program, the program is engaging Kindergarten, Grade One and Grade Two students who participate in 30 minute sessions, animated by a Program Leader, two to three times a week. The curriculum of the program focuses on activities and games that promote and develop locomotive, object manipulation and stability skills.  This innovative ACC program acts as a support to physical education and physical activity participation in sharing the ultimate goal of increasing the potential that individuals will be active for life.  Provision of the Champions for Life program has been made possible through donor funding and the support of Active for Life, therefore at no cost to schools or students.

The Active Healthy Kids Canada 2011 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth identified the after-school period from 3-6pm as a critical time to promote children’s engagement in physical activity. In a related context, Active for Life (activeforlife.ca) is a national movement about physical literacy that maintains a website where parents can access resources to help support the development of healthy and happy children. The Champions for Life program puts the objectives of both these organizations into action.

We offer a music program as well as a creative arts program. Physical education and various collaborative and out-of-classroom activities figure prominently in our approach to educating our students. Our building is surrounded by both asphalted and grass covered areas and is adjacent to a public park which consists of playfields a basketball practice court and play equipment.

We provide lunch time supervision, childcare services before and after school as well as a Pre-Kindergarten program.

The parents' support at home and their involvement at school are valued and appreciated. We have both a parents' participation organization and a Home & School Association. There are nine seats for parents' representatives on our governing board. We also have a Daycare Users' Committee.

Our dedicated and caring school is staffed by 30 teachers, three integration aids, one spiritual animator, two caretakers, a librarian and an administrative assistant.

Our principal sees to every aspect of the daily routine at school and to everyone's needs, including those of the students, the staff and the parents.
