About Us

Where We Are: Cremona School is located in the small village of Cremona in the foothills of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, between Cochrane and Sundre. The school serves the surrounding area, providing education for students from ECS to Grade 12.

Who We Are: We are a Professional Learning Community.

The mission of Cremona School is to establish high standards of learning within the framework of Alberta Education mandates and curriculum. We expect all students will meet or exceed these standards.

As a learning community we accept responsibility for all students and will provide the necessary support and help required for every student to succeed. We will also promote a positive school climate by modeling life long learning qualities and characteristics that we hope to instill in our children.
