Our School Community See all the kids working together to make a bubble with the parachute. Kids from grades K to 6 are playing together and respecting each other. It makes me think of how Garneau School teaches you to be a very caring person and to participate in a community.

Child Study Centre - Projects We are looking in the dirt for red wigglers, the worms that work in our compost bin. We are studying composting as part of our Food Project. We put apple cores and orange peels, the food that we can’t eat, into the compost for the worms to turn it back into soil.

Welcome to Garneau School

Garneau School, a beautiful, historic building, was established in 1923 and has a long, rich history in the city of Edmonton. The school is located on the east side of the University of Alberta campus and is a familiar landmark to anyone who knows Edmonton. Many children have parents, grandparents and even great grandparents who have attended Garneau school as elementary or secondary students. Our school is a place where the past and future meet.

Garneau School is a learning community within Edmonton Public Schools. A successful learning environment is one that is nurturing, positive and supportive. All members of our learning community help to create this environment and help build a climate of mutual trust and respect conducive to effective learning, personal development and social living. The tenets of Garneau School include:

  • We provide meaningful instruction consistent with child development and the teachers' professional judgement.
  • We believe that a successful learning environment depends on committed staff, students and parents working together in collaboration.
  • We value diversity and respect.

Principal's Message

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.

            - Kahlil Gibran

At Garneau School, we believe in the value of relationships and rely on collaboration from all of our partners, including students, parents, staff and community members. We honour student voice, as children direct their learning, and parent voice as we work together to create learning experiences that are valuable to each child. We work collaboratively with our partners at the University of Alberta, demonstrating research, life long learning and the sharing of expertise.

Our school is home to two programs. The Garneau Program serves students who reside in the Garneau catchment area. The Child Study Centre is a project-based program, supported by a partnership between the University of Alberta and Edmonton Public Schools.

Our learning community is diverse, and the uniqueness of each member is celebrated. We have several regular school wide events; Terry Fox Run, Fall Fun Day, Winter Concert, Jump Rope For Heart, Artist in Residence and Pancake Breakfast. Students, parents and staff work together to create a warm and welcoming learning environment.

We welcome all visitors to our school, and are always ready to share our learning stories with you.
