Step 1 – Attend a Parent Information Session

Who should attend?
If you are a parent/guardian who is thinking about Edmonton Christian Schools for their child(ren), you should attend — even if you’re an ECS graduate yourself! The session gives parents a clear picture of how the school and Society partnership works today.

Current ECS families just adding a new sibling do not need to attend.

Why do we require this?
At the session, you’ll learn what makes Edmonton Christian Schools unique — our Christ-centred approach to education, what we believe, our mission, our partnership with parents and Edmonton Public Schools, and how faith and learning come together every day. You’ll also have a chance to tour the school and meet the principal or assistant principal.

***Missed Our Information Sessions?*** Our scheduled parent sessions have now concluded, but we still need to connect with you! If you weren’t able to attend, please reach out to us at societyoffice@edmchristian.org. We will arrange a private chat with our Executive Director or Principal to ensure you have all the information you need. 

Step 2 – Register with Edmonton Public Schools (EPSB)

ECS is an alternative program within Edmonton Public Schools.

• New to EPSB: If you are new to the division, you may proceed with the online EPSB registration once the school office confirms there is space.
• Current EPSB Students: If your child is currently enroled in another EPSB school, do not fill out a new registration form. Instead, notify your child’s current school; they must initiate the digital transfer to Edmonton Christian Schools.

Important:

• After submitting an EPSB new student registration form, check your email for a message from Adobe Sign → click the “Confirm my email address” link in that email to finish the process. Your registration will not be received unless you complete this step.
• Registrations must be completed during the EPSB registration period (February 2, 2026 – March 25, 2026, at 4:00 PM) to be considered in the first round of enrolments.
• Registrations received after the March deadline will only be reviewed if space remains after all on-time registrations have been processed.

After you Register with EPSB

By the end of April, you will be contacted by the school to confirm enrolment status. 

Important:

• Completing registration with Edmonton Public Schools does not guarantee enrolment at Edmonton Christian Schools.
• Enrolment depends on available space at each grade level.
• Enrolment may be determined through a random selection process for Edmonton residents if needed.

Check out our FAQs!

Note: The schools are closed in July and August. If you register over the summer, you may not get confirmation of enrolment until school staff return in late August.

If you have questions about the EPSB registration form or need to make a change please contact the school directly.

ECS Alternative Program Waitlist: 2026–2027 School Year

A waitlist will be established once a class reaches capacity or following the random selection process. If demand exceeds available space, families not currently enroled may join the list to be notified if a spot opens. The waitlist remains active, and families will be contacted regarding vacancies, until September 29, 2026.

Step 3 – Submit Your ESCE Forms and Review Payment Options

After you’ve received confirmation from the school, finalize your ECS enrolment by completing the required steps with the Edmonton Society for Christian Education (ESCE):

• MAY-AUGUST: Submit your signed Partnership Agreement (Provided at the information session)
• AUGUST-SEPTEMBER: Review the Christian Program Fee payment options. Once you receive your invoice in August, please inform us of which payment option your family will use.
• SEPTEMBER+: (Optional) Submit your Summary Statement of Faith. ESCE membership helps support Christian education and connects your family to the wider ECS community.
