If you are adding a new student, you must register them with the division before the March deadline, even if you already have children attending ECS. (e.g. adding a new student starting Kindergarten or another grade).

• NOTE: If your child is currently enroled in a different Edmonton Public School and would like them to attend ECS in the upcoming year, you must log in to your parent SchoolZone account and indicate your school choice for the upcoming year before the March deadline.

Only new siblings who are registered before the March deadline are guaranteed a seat.

Edmonton Christian Schools (ECS) wishes to enrol all new families who sincerely desire a Christian education for their children.

Boundaries:  New students may register at any of our schools regardless of their home address. However, yellow bus availability is determined by your home address.  If you require yellow bus service, please view the attendance area map for your chosen school. (Northeast School or West School) More busing information can be found HERE as well.

Enrolment Limits: If the number of new student registrations exceeds the number of available spaces at West School, Northeast School or the High School, new students will be chosen by a random selection conducted by Edmonton Public Schools.

• • Resident students who have registered and submitted all required documents prior to the March deadline may participate in a random selection.
  • Students must reside within the Edmonton City Limits to participate in a random selection.

Non-Resident Students: Students from outside the City limits will be enroled only if space permits after all resident students have been enroled.

After the March registration deadline, new students may be enroled on a first-come-first-served basis but only in grades that have space and that were not part of a random selection process.

We offer a distinctively Christian program that integrates faith, learning, and service into the entire curriculum and program; challenges students to actively play their role in God’s story.  Our vision for all students is that they accept Christ’s invitation to live for renewal.

The Edmonton Society for Christian Education (the Society) stepped out in faith to open Edmonton Christian Schools (ECS) in 1949, and we have been welcoming new families ever since. Today, the Society partners with the Edmonton Public School Board to run Edmonton Christian Schools as an Alternative Program. ECS follows the Alberta curriculum and meets or exceeds all Alberta Education requirements.

Siblings of students who currently attend Edmonton Christian West or Northeast School are guaranteed a seat provided the new sibling is registered before the March deadline.

Siblings who register after the March deadline cannot be guaranteed a seat. Late registrations will be accepted only if space permits. 

Kindergarten is a half-time, full-day program at Edmonton Christian Schools.

Kindergarten eligibility is based on birth year. Click here to find out if your child is eligible for Kindergarten.

Students will be placed in either:

Monday/Wednesday class plus alternating Thursdays or;
Tuesday/Friday class plus alternating Thursdays
