Creating Communities of Belonging: Strategic Plan 2025-2028
Advancing equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism
The Edmonton Catholic School Division (ECSD) is committed to ensuring that our mission to provide a Catholic education in a faith-filled, Christ-centered learning environment is inclusive of every child of God. Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, our approach to equity and inclusion reflects our call to love and serve one another, with particular care for those who have been marginalized or excluded. These guiding principles sustain our steadfast commitment to uphold the inherent dignity of every human person.
Our strategic plan:
- outlines the priorities and key strategies that will guide the integration of equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism into the life and work of our Catholic schools
- is shaped by the voices of ECSD students, families, and staff gathered through both qualitative and quantitative engagement,
- represents an ongoing journey toward advancing a Catholic school division that radiates the compassion of Christ while honoring the distinct identity of schools and departments within the Division
- is designed to grow and adapt alongside our division as we continue our collective journey rooted in respect, honesty, accountability, right relationships, and shared responsibility
We recognize that this work is ongoing and requires continuous reflection and collaboration.
Our commitment to the Division’s mission is animated by Gospel values and guided by the Catholic understanding of human dignity, justice, community, and peace.
