History

In 1888, three nuns from the order of the Faithful Companions of Jesus began teaching 23 Catholic students in the very first Catholic school in Edmonton. From then they have grown from one school with 23 students to 84 schools with around 32,000 students. Catholic education in Edmonton has a proud tradition that dates back to before Alberta was a province. In August 1888, Edmonton Catholic parents applied to organize a separate school district for their children. In October of that same year three sisters from the Faithful Companions of Jesus sailed from France to open a convent and a school in Edmonton. They began teaching at the newly formed St. Joachim Catholic School on 2 November 1888. That first year the sisters taught 23 students. At that time compulsory schooling began at age seven and was complete by the age of 12.[5]

Future

The construction of three new schools has been recently announced. They will be located in the Terwillegar, Rutherford, and The Hamptons neighborhoods of Edmonton. All the school are expected to be completed by 2010. Also a new High School was announced along with the other three schools. This High School will also be located in the Terwillegar neighborhood and is expected to be completed by 2011 or 2012.[3]
