Welcome to Edison School, consistently ranked among Alberta's top 5 private schools. Since 1993, we have remained committed to our founding principles: building character alongside academics, fostering family-like relationships, and developing the whole child.
Integrity. Academics. Community. These are not just words; they are our foundation. We believe that providing excellent academics without simultaneously building character is only half the equation. At Edison, students learn acceptance, respect and, most importantly, ethics and honesty. Self-confidence and self-advocacy are cultivated at every grade level.
Small by Design. Significant by Nature. With approximately 300 students and a typical class size of 12, every student is known, valued and significant. Our faculty develops deep, caring relationships with each child; relationships that often last long after graduation. We have grown over three decades, but we have never veered from our commitment to maintain an intimate, nurturing size.
Values Over Trends. Edison is constructed on a foundation of transferable and core human values, rather than trends and materialism. We develop positive attitudes towards learning, teamwork and goal-setting, fostering happy, well-adjusted children who become positive contributors to society.
Partnership with Families. Although our faculty is committed to academics, community and leadership, we know that foundational attitude development starts at home. The Edison community works in true partnership with parents, creating strong relationships among our three pillars: students, staff and families.
Academic Excellence with Purpose. Our curriculum treats Alberta standards as a foundation to build upon. We teach Singapore Math through Grade 8 and comprehensive language arts from Kindergarten through Grade 12. By graduation, most students complete at least one Advanced Placement course, with many entering university holding significant credit. Strong athletics, a vibrant arts program and outdoor/global education trips complement our academics. Upper School students participate in the Duke of Edinburgh program, developing accountability, independence and community involvement.
Entering Our Fourth Decade Strong. Our graduates are a testament to our strength as they promote our core values of integrity, academics and community in every aspect of their adult lives.
