Manitoba School for the Deaf (MSD)

Early Years

MSD offers Early Years programming from Kindergarten to Grade 5. Our school follows the Manitoba curriculum. Our program provides a supportive learning environment and active educational experiences that allow students to achieve success, gain knowledge, and develop as global citizens. Co-teaching and cross-groupings are done according to subject and skill level. The individual needs of our diverse learners are met by providing innovative and differentiated instruction.

Through our unique bimodal/bilingual program, students are provided with access to instruction through spoken language and American Sign Language, depending on their individual needs. Our program places a clear emphasis on the language development of our students through field trips, additional language programming, and enriched options classes. During options classes, students have the opportunity to explore drumming, robotics, yoga, computer, American Sign Language and more. We consistently provide a state-of-the-art approach to language and learning that meets the needs of our diverse Early Years population.
