Riverside South is home to the only Ottawa area school with a balanced calendar. Students at L'école élémentaire catholique Bernard-Grandmaître have a summer vacation which is shortened by three weeks; these three weeks are re-distributed throughout the school year, which is intended to give students and teachers more beneficial rest and recreation time. The pilot project ended in 2010, and the school is running permanently on the balanced calendar.
