WELCOME TO PRINCETON SCHOOL

Princeton School offers programming for students entering Kindergarten through grades 1 to 6.  In addition, Princeton has dedicated classrooms for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder who have complex needs.

With under 170 students, Princeton provides students with a caring and safe learning community.

For the 2024 - 2025 school year, Princeton School is full in planned classes in Grades 4 and 5 in the regular program. A Kindergarten student who is a resident and lives in the school's attendance area may still register. We will now only accept resident students in Grades 4 and 5 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school’s attendance area for the regular program. 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.

If you are registering for Kindergarten or are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.

Cogito K-1 at Princeton School for the 2025-2026 School Year

We are excited to announce that Princeton School will be offering Cogito programming for students in K-1, in addition to our regular program, in the 2025-2026 school year. Please contact the office at 780-476-2344 to learn more.

COGITO INFORMATION SESSION AND SCHOOL TOUR

At Princeton, we are committed to helping parents make informed decisions as they choose a school or program for their child. Parents must understand the program's expectations to make an informed choice. 

The academic rigour of the Cogito program is very demanding.

  • Is your child ready for the challenge? 
  • Are you, the parents, prepared to work with your child daily to support their success?

We will host a Cogito Information Session on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 at 6:00 pm. This will include an overview of the Cogito program and an opportunity for parents to tour the school. 

To register for the information session, please email princeton@epsb.ca by February 10, 2025. 

COGITO KINDERGARTEN APPLICATIONS & 'MEETINGS FOR SUCCESS':

All Kindergarten applicants interested in the Cogito Program will be required to participate in a 'Meeting for Success'. This is an opportunity for prospective students to engage in age-appropriate tasks presented in a Cogito setting while being observed by the teachers.

School Administration will use the evidence and observations collected during the ‘Meeting for Success’ to engage parents in a conversation about the child’s readiness for the expectations and demands of the program. These meetings are an important way to connect with our new families and students, and this connection is vital to student success in the Cogito program.

GRADE 1 NEW REGISTRATIONS:

New registrants interested in the Cogito Program will be asked to provide a copy of their latest Progress Report. School Administration can use this to engage parents in a conversation about the child’s readiness for the expectations and demands of the program. Levels of achievement are not used as the sole determining factor for the child’s readiness for the program.

 

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!

At Princeton, we are committed to fostering a culture of kindness, where students feel connected to each other, fully engaged in learning, and supported by a caring community. Guided by the division’s core values of equity, integrity, collaboration, and accountability, we work to build an inclusive environment where every student is valued and empowered to succeed.

This year, we are excited to continue aligning our efforts with the Division’s strategic plan for 2022-2026, which includes our Vision, Mission, Values, Priorities, and Goals. Literacy and numeracy remain at the heart of our focus, and we are dedicated to providing high-quality teaching and learning opportunities. We know that success in reading, writing, and math is key to success in life.

Learning at Princeton is a collaborative effort, and we believe in the power of working together. We encourage our families and the wider community to join us in supporting our students as they strive to reach their fullest potential.

Thank you for entrusting us with the important role of supporting your child’s development. We are excited for a fantastic year ahead!

Yours in Partnership,

Annette Hlavacek
