Edmonton Catholic Schools

Edmonton Catholic Schools started back in 1888 when three sisters from the order of the Faithful Companions of Jesus sailed from France and began teaching just 23 students in the very first Catholic school in Edmonton.  

Since then, the division has grown many times over, enrolling over 44,330 students at 95 schools and offering numerous immersion and bilingual programs, including French Immersion, Polish Bilingual, Spanish Bilingual, and Ukrainian Bilingual programs. With many new immigrant, Indigenous and early learning programs as well, ECSD provides a Christ-centered, competency-based learning experience for all learners, right in the heart of Edmonton, Alberta.

The Edmonton Catholic Schools' Back to School Plan is designed to support their schools in reducing the risk of transmission of illness and maintaining safe and healthy environments for their students and staff.
