At Edgemont School we strive to meet the needs of each child through collaborative work between students, families, staff and community. We will seek opportunities to ensure that you can be actively involved in your child’s learning and that communication between each child, the school and the parent is clear and supportive.

We are committed to taking up the Alberta Program of Studies in a manner that makes learning meaningful and will focus on engaging students in their own learning so that they clearly recognize their own starting points, their progress and the strategies they are using which make a difference.

Parent involvement in the school is critical. Volunteering in the classroom, supporting special events, joining the School Council and talking with your children at the end of each day about their learning are just a few of the many ways that parents can support the school community. We look forward to working with you.

School Mission 

Each student, in keeping with his or her individual abilities and gifts, will complete high school with a foundation of learning necessary to thrive in life, work and continued learning.
