Our Mission & Vision

Our Mission
To provide a Catholic education which inspires and prepares students to learn, to work, to live fully, and to serve God in one another.

Inspired by

  • Love of the Creator
  • Faith in Jesus Christ
  • Hope from the Holy Spirit

Mandated by

  • the parents and guardians of our students
  • the educational mission of the Church
  • the Alberta Ministry of Learning

We believe

  • That each person is created in the image and likeness of God
  • In the goodness, dignity, and worth of each person
  • That all learn and develop their gifts
  • That Catholic education includes spiritual growth and fulfillment
  • That Catholic education is a shared responsibility in which parents have a primary role
  • That Christ is our model and teacher
  • In building Christ-centered communities for service to one another
  • In celebrating and witnessing to our faith in truth and in life; holiness and grace; justice, love, and peace
  • That learning is a life-long journey
  • That all have rights, roles and responsibilities for which they are accountable
  • In making the world a better place in which to live

Our Vision
Edmonton Catholic Schools delivers the curriculum of Alberta Education to students within a Christ-centred learning community.

There is emphasis on the centrality of a strong learning and teaching focus within a Catholic context resulting in the optimizing of human potential for students in our trust.

Our community is a team of the school, home and parish working together. We offer our students a message of hope and growth; living Christian values of faith, hope and charity; respect and compassion; and present the teachings of the Catholic Church.

The Edmonton Catholic Schools experience is more than academic achievement. Christ's teachings inspire our staff to see each child as a precious gift and a sacred responsibility. This is reflected in everything we do ensuring the best learning possible for the children entrusted in our care.
