Our mission is to provide a quality education through shared responsibility in a safe supportive environment for all students to meet the challenges of a global society.

We are “Committed to Excellence”, and we work hard to make the site a primary source for timely information for all users, and a main gateway for improved communication between parents, teachers, students and other members of our community.

Our goal and responsibility is to help each student develop an enthusiasm for learning, a respect for self and others, and the skills to become a creative independent thinker and problem solver.

Have you moved to REC's catchment area and have a child going to attend REC?

Please call the school at 902-758-4660 ext 2032 or E-mail Michelle to set up an appointment to come in to register your child.

You will need to bring along the following:
