Full Day Kindergarten

Thanks to the generosity of the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation, our school offers a full day Kindergarten program for families that live within our school boundaries. The focus of this program is developing literacy and numeracy skills through play.

Parents can now register their child for the 2024-2025 school year. 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.

Grades 1-6

Tipaskan’s programming for grades 1-6 reflects the curricular outcomes  from the Alberta Program of Studies. Teachers in the school will deliver the curriculum in different ways. How the curriculum is taught depends on the teacher's teaching style, the needs of the students and input from parents. Some important aspects of our regular program include technology and physical education.

Technology

Thanks to our Tipaskan Parent Association, the school has purchased Chromebooks for each classroom in order to enhance student learning and provide digital opportunities and citizenship for all students. Technology is used for:

• Practicing skills taught in the classroom
• Giving students the opportunity to show their learning in digital format
• Teaching and learning virtually 
• Learning how to use current programs to develop deeper understanding of concepts taught
• Communication apps to enhance student learning for those with learning challenges

Students can access their schoolwork through Schoolzone. Responsible digital citizenship is taught and expected to be followed by our students.

French as a Second Language

French as a second language is taught for all Grades 4-6 students.

There is an equal emphasis on the development of all four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) to meet the needs of all learners. A variety of games are also introduced to allow students to use French in a fun and interactive way.
