Cummer Valley Middle School opened in 1985 and was named in honour of Jacob Cummer and his family, who were among the first settlers in this area. The school was built in 1960 and was called Northmount Junior High School until 1985.

The school currently has about 600 students in Grades 6, 7, and 8. The school services three elementary schools and provides a transition program that supports the unique needs of students during their early adolescent years.

A Diverse Student Population

* About 20 languages and 30 countries are represented.

* Many in our student population have origins in the Pacific Rim.

* The most prevalent languages, other than English, are Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Farsi.

* This diversity helps our students to learn to interact positively and collaboratively with each other, preparing them for an increasingly pluralistic society.

Special Programs

Cummer Valley houses Special Education classes at each grade level, including the Gifted program. We also offer a core English as a Second Language program at each grade level.
