Edmonton Catholic Schools is a publicly funded school division in Edmonton serving more than 50,000 students in 94 schools from Pre-Kindergarten to High School. The Division is the fourth-largest school division in Alberta and the second-largest Catholic school division west of Metropolitan Toronto.
The mission of Edmonton Catholic Schools is to provide a Catholic education that inspires students to learn and that prepares them to live fully and to serve God in one another.
In 1888, three sisters from the order of the Faithful Companions of Jesus began teaching 23 Catholic students in the very first Catholic school in Edmonton. We have grown as a school division from one school with 23 students into what it is today.
