Mah-Sos School is a community, a community of learning, a community of committed students, caring teachers, teacher assistants, administrators and support staff.

Mah-Sos School has been operating in Tobique First Nation for over 40 years. The original Mah- Sos School was built in 1975 in the shape of a fiddlehead. In 2012, Tobique First Nation opened the doors to a brand new Mah-Sos School. The 2,490 m2 Kindergarten to Grade 5 school has 10 classrooms and includes a technology room, a gymnasium, a music room, a library, a kitchen and a cafeteria, as well as administrative space.

Mah-Sos School currently offers K-4 to Grade 5 . While offering New Brunswick provincially based curriculum for all grade levels, Mah-Sos School also offers culturally based curriculum incorporating Wolastoq/Maliseet culture, history, language, music, physical education and computer class.

Beginning in 2018, Mah-Sos School will proudly partner with the Martin Family Initiative (https://www.themfi.ca/about-mfi) Model Schools Literacy Project to focus on literacy enhancement for Grades K, 1, 2 and 3. Like the Martin Family Initiative, Tobique Education recognizes that improving literacy skills in the first years of a child’s schooling dramatically increases the likelihood that he or she will complete high school and move on to pursue higher education.

Mah-Sos School – where we grow leaders!
