Discovery Elementary School is located on the north end of Shawnigan Lake, not far from the village center. The community of Shawnigan Lake is a growing, family oriented area. It is close to both Mill Bay and Duncan and is commuting distance to Nanaimo and Victoria. We enjoy a rural lifestyle as our school is nestled in natural surroundings
Staff and parents believe that education is a shared responsibility between home, school, the student, and the community. We are dedicated to nurturing the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth of each child. We have an array of programs and activities both within school hours and as extra-curricular activities. In addition, our active Parent Advisory Council hosts several family events each year.
The Discovery Elementary School community believes that it is important to establish a caring and supportive environment. We work hard to develop each student’s sense of responsibility, respect, and cooperation. Social responsibility skills are emphasized at all times. We are proud of how our students represent themselves and the school within the community.
