Edmonton Catholic Separate School Division No. 7 or the Edmonton Catholic School Division (ECSD) is the Catholic school board in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The Edmonton Catholic School Division currently operates 96 schools. [1] There are a total of 1 pre-K school, 49 elementary schools, 21 elementary/junior high schools, 2 elementary/junior/senior high schools (not counting the Kisiko Awasis Kiskinhamawin in Mountain Cree Camp as the school is managed outside the ECSD main budget), 12 junior high schools, 1 junior/senior high school, 9 senior high schools (counting a 4-campus school as 1), and 1 senior high asynchronous online learning program (standalone, rather than logged in to follow along with a teacher lecturing a class in one of the physical schools).
As of the 2021–22 school year, ECSD has 43,400 students enrolled, with 4,300 staff, of which roughly 62% are certificated and 38% are classified support. [2] [3] The ECSD approved budget for 2021-22 is C$513.2 million. [3]
In August 1888, Edmonton Catholic parents applied to organize a separate school district for their children. In October of that same year three sisters from the Faithful Companions of Jesus sailed from France to open a convent and a school in Edmonton. They began teaching at the newly formed St. Joachim Catholic School on 2 November 1888. That first year the sisters taught 23 students. At that time compulsory schooling began at age seven and was complete by the age of 12. [4] From that start in 1888–89, they have grown from one school with 23 students to 96 schools with more than 43,000 students in 2021–22. [2]
For many years the election of the trustees was at-large with half of them elected each year through Plurality block voting. All of the seats became up for election in each election after 1963.
Edmonton Catholic Schools offers a pre-kindergarten program for children aged 3+1/2 to 4+1/2 called the 100 Voices program which is available at a number of different schools in the district. [5]
The Edmonton Catholic School District offers a number of language programs. [6]
As of the 2021–22 school year, ECSD has 96 schools under its jurisdiction. [1]
