WHO ARE WE?

Robert J. Tait Elementary is a vibrant Kindergarten to Grade 7 school in the North-central part of Richmond. Our geographic location is one of the things that really sets us apart. We are located between Bridgeport Rd (to the South), the Fraser River (to the North) , Number 4 Road (to the West) and Shell Road (to the East). Highway 99, the Fraser River, and local business/industry also help define the borders of our community. The Tait Neighbourhood really is a secluded gem with no other neighbourhoods close to us.

In the 2024/25 school year, Robert J. Tait has 235 students in 10 divisions. We believe our smaller student population is an asset. Our staff know our students, and our students feel connected to all of our staff. Members of the Tait Community work hard together to create and maintain a school where everyone feels they belong because they are connected to, and cared for by others.

What also defines us as a community, are the people. A broad range of cultures make up the families/students at Tait. We have families who originate from all over the world, providing us with a rich and diverse student population. This fusion of cultures, provides us with many opportunities to learn from each other and find common values. Our team of educators believe it is our responsibility to be proactive in aiding our students to develop their personal and cultural identities.
