Edmonton Society for Christian Education
In 1999 the Edmonton Society For Christian Education (ESCE) joined Edmonton Public Schools as an alternative program. ESCE partners with the Edmonton Public School Board to run Edmonton Christian Schools (ECS).
The Society (ESCE), which has about 3100 members, is responsible for preserving the integrity of the Christian vision and mission and remains responsible for the schools’ Christian program. The Society is responsible for the ownership and upkeep of all school buildings and their accompanying grounds. Additionally, it oversees the operation of a High School shuttle and a rural route bus. The Society arranges various annual community events, and its office manages the collection of Christian program fees and employs additional support staff. ESCE also runs a private and accredited preschool program.
