Our School
Morse Place School is built on the site of one of the original schools in the
division. Salisbury School was opened in 1915. Morse Place Junior High was
opened in 1959. In 1992 the two schools amalgamated to form Salisbury Morse
Place. Student enrolment is approximately 550 students from kindergarten to grade 8. Salisbury Morse Place is a dual track English and French Immersion
School. An English program is offered from K-8 and a French Immersion program
from K-5.

Philosophy and direction
At Salisbury Morse Place School we believe that:
- all children want to succeed and have a desire to learn.
- all children are entitled to a successful school experience.
- children differ in their interests and their needs.
- each child has a unique learning rate and style.
- success in school depends on a sequential and logical program.
- in helping others the children understand themselves, their peers, and
their relationship to society.
- in helping others the children realize their responsibility to
themselves, their families, their peers and their school.

non-threatening learning and teaching environment. It is our
overriding goal that our students will grow to be kind, courteous, polite and
organized individuals. The students are encouraged through their
actions to demonstrate respect for the rights of others and thus gain
self-esteem.
