Welcome to Edmonton Catholic Schools!
Registration for the 2026–2027 school year is now open.
How you register depends on whether the student is new to Edmonton Catholic Schools and whether your family already has an ECSD SchoolEngage account. Please review the options below to ensure you start in the right place.
Step 1: Find Your School
If you are looking for a school in your attendance area, please use our School Finder tool. You can also search for languages, academies, and other program offerings in this tool.
Once you have determined your school, please select New to ECSD or Existing ECSD Families to begin. Each section will provide you with detailed instructions. Current ECSD families do not need to create a new account if they already have a child enrolled in one of our schools.
Step 2: Choose the Option that Applies to You
