School Overview

Why teach at MEI Schools?

MEI Schools represents three Pre-K to 12 independent schools at the elementary, middle, and secondary school level. Since 1944, we have provided high-quality, faith-based education. We have an established tradition of excellence that manifests in our students consistently scoring above the provincial average on all academic assessments.

Our Mission, Vision and Values

In cooperation with the church and home, our mission is to equip young people to live a life of excellence through service as faithful Disciples of Christ.

At MEI, Christ-centred values form the foundation of everything we do. In both curricular and extracurricular settings, students are not only taught the importance of upholding high standards of character and behaviour; they’re also held accountable for them. It’s through this approach that students learn to take responsibility for their behaviour and develop the integrity and principles that will guide them to success in all facets of life.

Part of the MEI experience involves belonging to an authentic and vibrant community where students from all races, cultures and backgrounds are welcomed and encouraged to get involved.
