About
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year at New Myrnam School. New Myrnam School is a small rural school with rich traditions and character. Each year we come together from kindergarten to grade twelve and create intimate learning experiences and lasting memories. We offer a full array of academic courses and programming with the benefit of small class sizes that allow our students to be highly successful in their academic pursuits. In addition, we also offer a wide range of activities and option courses that include food studies, construction, art, drama, computer coding and programming, robotics, 3D printing and design and others. Students also have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of extracurricular activities. At NMS, we are committed to providing students with an educational experience that will challenge and develop their character, spark their interest, and support their career opportunities. We will do so in a safe, supportive and caring school that welcomes all students. At New Myrnam School we do our best to help you grow your character, expand your mind, and strive for excellence in all your work here and in the future. We hope you enjoy your year with us!
