The Edmonton Society for Christian Education (ESCE) began in 1946 to further the cause of Christian education. In 1949 we opened our first school. In 1999, ESCE joined Edmonton Public Schools as an alternative program. The Society, which has about 3000 members, is responsible for preserving the integrity of the Christian vision and mission, owns and maintains all school buildings and a busing system and organizes annual community events such as a goods and services auction and a golf tournament. All parents and supporters of Christian education are invited to become members.
