History
First Catholic School in Edmonton
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.[4] From that start in 1888-89, they have grown from one school with 23 students to 96 schools with more than 43,000 students in 2021-22.[1]
