Lord Lansdowne Junior Public School's Mission Statement
Lord Lansdowne School is a French Immersion Centre, with French Immersion classes only. Beginning in 2022-2023, we have classes from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6. There are no English classes at Lord Lansdowne – local students are directed to Kensington Community School for the JK to Grade 6 regular English program.

WHAT SETS US APART
At Lord Lansdowne, we are proud of our longstanding tradition of excellence in music. We believe that the study of music promotes imagination, appreciation and the joy of knowing that a whole ensemble is greater than the sum of its parts.
Our music programs promote good practice habits; the discipline of working together where each student needs to match in tune, in time and in style with the ensemble; an understanding of the essentials of music and the joy of performance.
