Mino Pimoosayda School
On September 29th, 2026, the announcement wa made that Marymound School is now named Mino Pimoosayda School, which translates to “Walking in a Good Way” in Anishinaabe.
This name was gifted to us by our Elder in Residence, Cheryl Thomson. It is a meaningful gift to our school, our young people, our staff and our organization as we continue our journey as an Indigenous-led and Indigenous-governed organization.
Mino Pimoosayda School is unique in Winnipeg. It provides specialized education to students with exceptional learning needs. Our goal is to offer young people a chance to succeed.
Student numbers at Mino Pimoosayda School are purposely kept low so that students benefit from more individual attention. Using a creative, dynamic approach, the school delivers the provincial education curriculum from elementary grades to grade 11. Students often transition back into community school after a few years at Mino Pimoosayda School.
The school has a full complement of specially trained staff members who are experienced at working with young people facing multiple challenges that may compete or interfere with their schooling. Special education teachers and assistants, counselors, social workers, psychologists and a psychiatrist are all available to provide school curriculum, assistance, coaching and counseling.
Our Pathways program allows students to graduate high school, earn a mature diploma at an adult learning centre, or transition directly into work or training, offering multiple paths to achieve their diploma or other goals.
Our Youth Education Services (YES) program provides immediate, short-term support to students and families, with Education Crisis Advisors offering guidance, one-on-one educational support, transportation, family-school collaboration, and individualized plans to help students in crisis succeed and transition back into school or vocational programs.
Marymound believes that education is a crucial key to a young person’s future.
