Kindergarten with Half-Day Programming
Kindergarten in Edmonton Catholic Schools is the beginning of an incredible continuum of learning. Our Division has a variety of programming that includes our community schools as well as programs of choice in which multiple environments support flexible and responsive programming to best meet your child’s needs. These programs are rich in oral language, literacy, exploration, and discovery.
St. Benedict is pleased to offer Kindergarten with Half-Day Programming.
