Our School

Walter E. Harris Public School serves a population of 450 students in grades 1-8 in Oshawa, Ontario. We are an entirely French Immersion school with students speaking French only until Grade 4, when English instruction is introduced for half the day.

The Walter E. Harris school community is a safe and caring one with a focus on academics and student well-being. We foster an inclusive and welcoming school climate while promoting excellence in academic success for each student.
