Westminster School is proud to be an International Baccalaureate Middle Year's Programme (IBMYP) school, one of only two in Edmonton Public Schools.  Combining academics, athletics, arts, and real life experiences, we seek to create equal opportunties for all of our students. Every student has a voice. Every student has a unique story to tell.
