WELCOME AND BIENVENUE!
The 2024-25 school year is underway with lots of great learning happening. Holyrood offers programming primarily in French Immersion for Kindergarten through Grade 6. We are phasing out our English program but still have classes in Grade 5-6. We will only be offering English programming in Grades 5 and 6 for the 2024-25 school year. Any new registrations for our English program must live within our attendance area.
For the 2025 - 2026 school year, Holyrood School will accept new registration beginning February 3, 2025. We no longer offer Kindergarten to Grade 5 in regular program and will only accept resident students in Grades 6 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school’s attendance area for the regular program. A resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic. Non-resident students can enroll in another Division school with space in planned classes.
If you are registering for Kindergarten or are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.
Open House: Thursday February 6 from 4:30-6:00pm
Please come and join us and meet many of the staff and community members that support Holyrood’s French Immersion program, making our school community such an exciting place to learn.
