Welcome
For the 2023 - 2024 school year, Elmwood School is full in planned classes from Kindergarten to Grade 6 in the STEM program. We will no longer accept enrolment requests for these grade levels in this program.
Elmwood will be hosting two separate Open Houses for families to visit and learn about the Chinese Bilingual and STEM programs for the 2024/25 school year. There is also a whole Division Chinese Bilingual Open House at the Centre for Education on January 31st at 6:30pm.
- STEM Open House: February 8th, 2024 from 6:00pm - 7:00pm.
- Elmwood Chinese Bilingual Open House: February 15th, 2024 from 6:00pm - 7:00pm.
You do not have to pre-register to attend the Open Houses. We do suggest that the Open House is mainly for adults as there is a formal presentation and it can be tricky for younger ones to sit through the entire event.
Pre-enrolment for the 2024/25 school year opens on February 1, 2024. If you are registering for Kindergarten or are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.
Welcome to Elmwood School! We are a diverse school that offers three excellent programming options: STEM (Sciences, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), Individual Support Program, and Chinese Bilingual. It is important to note that Elmwood School is not a community school and only offers Alternative or Special Education programming options.
We are proud to be the first elementary school in Edmonton Public to offer the STEM Program! This is a shift from the Sciences program that Elmwood has provided for many years however we feel that this is simply an evolution of the work that we already do with the students and school community. The STEM program supports students in learning with a focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Students will learn to research and solve real-world problems in innovative ways, and gain a deeper understanding of each of the STEM fields and how they work together.
We are very excited to continue to grow our Chinese Bilingual Program at Elmwood School and will be accepting registrations for Kindergarten and Grade 1 for the 2024/25 school year. The program is designed to provide children an opportunity to learn the Chinese language, in addition to the regular curriculum, and to experience the richness of both western and eastern cultures. Please contact the school office for information about registering for this school year.
Elmwood School also offers an Individual Support Program that supports students with severe to profound developmental disabilities in grades 1-6. Elmwood's inclusive school community provides numerous opportunities for all students to interact with one another - through classroom activities, buddy groups, school-wide assemblies, and special events.
We have a large transportation zone to support our Programs of Choice so please feel free to reach out to the school to find out if you are able to access bussing for your child. Additionally, Elmwood Out-of-School Care is housed in Elmwood School if you require support with child care after the school day is done.
Elmwood School is an exciting place to be! We look forward to learning with you and your child.
