Please note that Thelma Chalifoux School is FULL in planned classes in the STEM and Regular program for 2025 - 2026.

For the 2025 - 2026 school year, we will now only accept resident students who are 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 new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.
