Principal's Message
Welcome to Nellie Carlson School, a vibrant learning community catering to Kindergarten through Grade 9 students, inaugurated in September 2016. Our school stands with pride under the name of Nellie Carlson, an extraordinary activist who passionately championed equal rights for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit women and children, highlighting the profound impact of education as a catalyst for change.
Aligned with this profound legacy, the dedicated staff at Nellie Carlson School are committed to providing students with enriching experiences and rigorous instruction across three essential priorities: academics, inclusiveness, an approach to student and staff wellness.
At the core of our mission is a steadfast dedication to high levels of achievement for all. We believe that the primary purpose of our school is to facilitate meaningful learning experiences for every student. This commitment is unwavering, permeating every aspect of our school culture. Our staff continuously work together to assess student progress, identify areas for growth, and implement targeted interventions to ensure that every student reaches their full potential; all the while, creating a school wide understanding where equitable opportunities are cultivated.
Promoting a comprehensive approach to students and staff well-being are integral components of every child's education. At Nellie Carlson School, our staff are dedicated to providing students with ample opportunities for holistic development.
Teaching citizenship nurtures essential life skills and qualities vital for success in school and beyond. Our curriculum emphasizes the components of citizenship and we are committed to creating an inclusive school where all stakeholders actively contribute to the betterment of our Nellie Carlson community and the world at large.
At Nellie Carlson School, we are dedicated to upholding Edmonton Public School's four cornerstone values: collaboration, equity, integrity, and accountability. These values serve as the foundation of our commitment to providing unwavering service to our community.
