Academic Excellence

Student attendance is a critical school benchmark. We aim for 97% attendance annually and work proactively on many fronts to minimize absences.

Utilizing our strength-based approach to learning, MTMS teaches students how to hone their skills as they discover and cultivate their unique gifts and talents. All students are assessed using Gallup’s StrengthsExplorer. Once strengths are determined, teachers and staff can use this information to engage students in goal setting and proactively apply strengths to their learning. MTMS provides enriched after-school programming, where students can test their emerging talents in a safe and nurturing environment. 

MTMS’s extended day model gives our students an extensive support structure that enables them to grow and thrive. Over 40 after-school enrichment programs are offered at MTMS and they exist to supplement the education received by students during the day with comprehensive, character building activities and sports. After-school programming typically runs from 3:15 p.m. – 4:15 p.m. Monday through Thursday and is often delivered with the support of volunteers in our community. 

Past enrichment electives have included: art, First Nations drumming and dancing, Battle of the Books, photography, entrepreneurship (Mother Teresa Engaging Community), inter-school sports activities (including volleyball, soccer, basketball and track), Chess Club, cooking, computer coding and much more.
