Our History

Hampstead School was established in 1925 and is an English‑language elementary school within the English Montreal School Board, which was created in 1998 following the reorganization of school boards along linguistic lines in Quebec. Located in the municipality of Hampstead, the school operates as part of the EMSB network serving the Island of Montreal. Hampstead School has implemented the Success for All (SFA) literacy program as part of its instructional practices to support student learning in language arts. This model benefits from both advanced students and students with learning difficulties, that all students proceed at their own pace.

Students attend the school from several areas within our territory, including Hampstead, Notre‑Dame‑de‑Grâce, and Côte St-Luc. The school is committed to an inclusive educational model that integrates students with special needs into the regular classroom setting and applies a range of instructional approaches, including Universal Design for Learning (UDL), differentiated teaching, collaborative learning, and social-emotional learning to support student growth.

Hampstead School is committed to following an inclusion model to best meet the needs of all students, thereby integrating children with special needs into the regular student population. Hampstead School continues to welcome students from various other institutions. The school community is proud of the fact that advanced learners find an enriched and challenging curriculum suited to their abilities.

A Successful Home/School Partnership

Parents and teachers work cooperatively in order for the children to learn that consequences for their behavior are a result of choices in behavior.  Parents must be aware of their child’s actions in school so that they will be part of the shared education socialization process.

Parents are involved in the school’s Governing Board and the Parent Participation Organization (PPO). They also volunteer in the library & office, help organize activities and family events, as well as, various school fundraisers
