Hopewell Avenue Public School is a public school in Ottawa, Ontario. It teaches grades jk-8. With a student population of about 950, it is the second largest elementary school in the Ottawa Carleton District School Board. (After Steve MacLean Public School)

History

It was constructed in 1910. In the 1970s the old building was expanded with a new section of approximately the same size.

In 2015 the emerald ash beetle destroyed more than half of the trees in both the yards.

Later in the year the school started a campaign called Every Leaf Counts to raise 200,000 dollars to raise money for a new yard.^[1]

In 2016 grades 4, 5, and 6 took part in genius hour.

Program

Hopewell is a 4 story school with 2 gymnasiums (The Central gym can be split into 2, creating 3. The North, Central and South gyms). The school follows the Balanced School Day model; the school day is split into three blocks of 100 minutes each, separated by 40 minute nutritional/recess breaks. It provides education in English, Middle French Immersion, as well as extra classes in other heritage languages on Saturdays. The school offers The Me2We Club and Speaker Series. Mme. Major's grade 3 students were officially recognized by the Canadian Space Agency as partners in the Tomatosphere Project.
