    Community Profile 

    Westminster School (1951) is located in the community of Glenora and is home to the Warriors. We welcome students from our direct feeder schools - Glenora, Coronation, Grovenor, Westglen and Oliver. We excel at combining academics, technology, arts, athletics and real life experiences for our students and as a result, we also welcome Grade Seven to Nine students from all over the City of Edmonton in the delivery of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IB MYP), in which our Regular Program, and two District Special Needs Programs - Strategies and Connections reside.

    Westminster exists to create a safe space for students to find out who they are and flourish into who they are meant to be. We provide rich and fulfilling experiences for students, coupled with academic discipline and community involvement. Students leave Westminster feeling challenged, respected and valued, and confident.

Full In Planned Classes

For the 2025 - 2026 school year, Westminster School is full in planned classes for Grades 8 and 9 in both the regular and IBMY program. We will no longer accept enrolment requests for Grades 8 and 9 in the IBMY program. For the regular program, we will now only accept resident students for Grades 8 and 9 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school’s attendance area. 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 enrol in another Division school with space in planned classes.

Principal's Message

Hello Warriors,

As we begin the school year, I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the overarching goals of our school. At our school, our entire faculty and staff are dedicated to

  • creating opportunities for all learners to be successful
  • ensuring a sense of safety and belonging for all 
  • and developing leadership capacity in others 

Key to achieving these goals is believing that schools are places of hope. Hope is about dwelling in possibility and dreaming for the future. As part of this belief, we open the doors of Westminster School to our students, their families and our community. We believe all members of our school contribute to a welcoming, caring, respectful, and safe learning and working environment that respects diversity, commits to anti-racism education, and fosters a sense of belonging. Our school is a safe, welcoming, and inclusive place where our connections with one another and our greater community are underpinned by kindness, compassion, and respect. We are relentless in our efforts to provide every student with a high-quality educational experience that prepares them for their futures. Our students have endless opportunities to develop their interests, passions, and leadership skills through school initiatives, teams, and extra-curricular offerings. By leveraging the informative voices of our youth, we are creating a school where students thrive, feel pride, and leave a legacy for all those who follow.

On behalf of our entire team, we are proud to welcome you to Westminster School, a place of learning, leadership, and hope.

Daniel Card

Principal
