Kensington School is full in planned classes in Grade 1, 2, 5 and 6 in the Logos Program AND in Kindergarten, Grade 4 and Grade 6 in the Regular Program. For the Regular Program, resident students in the attendance area may still register in Kindergarten. For the other grades in the regular program, we will now only accept resident students in these grades who move 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.

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

The word “Logos” was used in the name of the society because of its rich Biblical meaning. As the Gospel of John says, “In the beginning was the Word (Logos) and the Word (Logos) was with God and the Word was God. …The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:1, 14a).
