Our Programs

As Wismer has grown over the years there have been many changes. Our school had an addition in the summer of 2013 to add Full Day Kindergarten to the school as well as adding more classrooms to support our growing population. We not only have a strong academic history but also an avid commitment to student well-being. Partnering with the City of Markham for children’s programs, Youth Assisting Youth for a tutoring program, working with York Regional Police in the VIP program, as well as encouraging our graduates to return to Wismer for community hours, are just a few ways we bring our community together.

At Wismer, we have many exciting opportunities beyond our excellence in academics to support students’ interests and talents.

In the past, we have  had a thriving arts program with extracurricular opportunities in: Visu​al Arts Club, Dance Clubs, Bucket Drumming, Spoken Word, Choir, Bell Choir, Concert Band, Glee Club and a Sign Language Club.

Athletic teams throughout the years have included: Cross Country, Girls’ Running Club, Volleyball, Basketball, Badminton, Track and Field and Soccer.

We also have many opportunities for students to develop their leadership including: Student Council for Intermediate students, Peace Tree Ambassadors, Healthy School Champions, ECOLeague, Our Student Run Writing Club and Student Ambassadors.

Our students and staff also have a passion for supporting local and global communities through charitable initiatives including: Fighting Cancer (Childhood Cancer, Movember, Breast Cancer Awareness), Helping Hands campaign supporting communities who have suffered after natural disasters (2011 Tsunami Relief for Japan and 2013 Typhoon Relief in the Philippines), Food Drives for local communities, and Habitat for Humanity which has become an annual goal for our staff.
