Queen Alexandra Middle School


Queen Alexandra was founded in 1889 as Hamilton Street School. Destroyed by fire in 1904, a new school  named after King Edward VII's wife opened a year later on our current site. The present school was built in 1957 and expanded in 1969. We celebrated our 100th Anniversary in 2006 and continue to be the hub in our community.

  • The school serves approximately 330 students in Grades 6, 7 and 8 with more than half of the population of east Asian backgrounds.
  • Queen Alexandra staff is committed to building a strong partnership between students, staff and parents in order to provide our adolescents with a productive, relevant learning environment as well as a rich, extensive co-curricular program to engage our largely inner-city population.

  • An Extended French program is offered in Gr. 7 and 8 where students study Language, History and Geography in French. English and Mathematics are delivered on rotary. There is an opportunity to continue the program in secondary school.
  • Our strong guidance program facilitates our student's transition into middle school and on to the secondary level. There is a focus on character education and community service. Equity issues are embedded throughout our curriculum.
