UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network (ASPnet) – Lockeport Schools, Shelburne County. N. S.

Lockeport Regional High School and Lockeport Elementary School were the first two schools in Nova Scotia to become part of UNESCO.

The schools were welcomed into the organization April 6, 2010 and were the only schools east of Montreal with UNESCO designation.

The Lockeport Family of Schools supports education for sustainable development. They work to be stewards of the environment through activities such as beach and community clean-up events, and maintaining a greenhouse and gardens.

Lockeport Elementary and Lockeport High are nurturing, caring, and inviting places that promote restorative approaches to education and relationships.
