Welcome to AMS
Check Out Our School
Alexandra Middle School (AMS) is an active grade 7, 8, and 9 public school serving approximately 480 students in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. At AMS, we focus exclusively on three important middle school years, which enables us to prepare your student for their final public-school transition to our partners and friends down the street at Medicine Hat High School. AMS is big enough for your child to find other like-minded peer groups and explore a variety of options, and small enough that they may receive close attention from all staff. At AMS, our goal is to support students as they experience significant development in their social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and behavioural domains. These five domains are the key virtues of the Middle School Philosophy. When each domain is supported well in an educational setting, they serve to improve student wellness. They also set a foundation for a path to academic and future success. We pay special attention to our grade seven students, by focusing on our core values and citizenship. We offer a student-centered learning environment that is innovative, responsive, flexible and differentiated, to meet the needs of middle school learners. Each year at AMS brings more choice and more independence as well as increased expectations. By the time they reach grade nine students are well prepared for their transition to high school.
