A new school, and a new hope for Autistic kids in Edmonton.
Many school-age kids with autism are struggling. Their teachers are struggling to teach them communication and emotional regulation skills so they can access their learning and reach their full potential. Autistic students need an Emotional Regulation Approach.
Edmonton needed a school that can meet those needs. That’s why we built one.
In addition to being a school, the new centre will be a community hub for educating and supporting teachers and other members of the community. We want to ensure everyone who works with Autistic children and their families has access to best practices and the latest methods. We’ll strengthen supports for everyone who works with the Autism community.
Renovation work is underway now to get the school up to full capacity. Until then, we will be accepting limited size classes. Here’s how you can help get us to full capacity faster!
Admissions and Eligibility Criteria
Please note, we’re at capacity for the 2024/2025 school year.
To be enrolled in the future, your child must:
- Be entering grade 1 or grade 2 in the 2024/2025 school year.
- Have a diagnosis of autism, or other related diagnosis, that would qualify the student for severe disability grant through Alberta Education.
- Experience emotional regulation and sensory needs that require support from a specialized program.
To join the waitlist, or if you have questions, please call (780) 495-9235.

With the help of Jim Jiwani and his family we were able to purchase this building. But much work needs to be done.
When we’ve called on the Edmonton community in the past, you’ve been there for us. We need you again.
