Kindergarten to Grade 8  |  Capreol, ON

Surrounded by picturesque lakes, rivers and boreal forest, C.R. Judd Public School first opened in 1959 as Capreol Public School and was later renamed after Chester Roy Judd who served as its principal for 38 years.

We are a Kindergarten to grade 8 school with a student population of approximately 145 and a dedicated staff committed to fostering the highest standards of academic excellence and responsible citizenship in a safe and engaging learning environment where all students can be successful.

The school is built on one floor, with a gym and change rooms located on the ground level below the classrooms. We have a beautiful library, large classrooms, a music room as well as a resource centre. In addition, the OCOF Daycare space located beside our spacious kindergarten room all provide a great learning environment for our students. The expansive playground boasts a regulation track, basketball courts, baseball diamond, playground structure, Gaga Ball, pavillion, sand boxes and pavement for skipping, 4 square, hop scotch or playing ball. Adjoining crown land, our outdoor space provides an excellent environment for year round nature walks, lessons in science and physical education, and even snowshoeing in the winter.
