Diefenbaker Elementary School

WELCOME TO DIEFENBAKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! 

Diefenbaker Elementary School is located two blocks west of Coxwell Avenue on Cosburn Avenue. This present location has been here since 1956. We are a Kindergarten to Grade 5 school, with many of our students graduating and moving on to Cosburn Middle School which is connected to our school via a hallway link. 

Over 300 students from Kindergarten to Grade 5 attend our school. We also offer a Grade 4 and a Grade 5 Middle French Immersion program.  Our students have the opportunity to be involved in many extra-curricular teams and clubs and we encourage student participation at all levels of learning. Some examples of student leadership at our school are the Student Leadership Council, Door Monitors, Student Announcers, Kindergarten Helpers, and Playground Activity Leaders (PALs).

We believe in offering student voice and student choice to our students so that they may become independent problem solvers and critical thinkers. Our students help to create the school climate with the leadership and guidance of our caring staff. Together, we make Diefenbaker a great place to learn and grow!
