Students in grade 7 must pick Instrumental Music OR a second language (French or Italian)

Students in EAP 7 will need to pick a second language.  They may also choose Music in addition to a second language.

Yes. Students can take both Music and a Second Language.

Music 8/9, FSL 8/9, Italian 8/9 – all have a prerequisite of grade 7

Second languages in 8 & 9 have the prerequisite of the previous grade and are not interchangeable, therefore students cannot switch languages year after year.

Yes! Since both languages are from the same language family, there are many similarities that align which can make it easier to learn both languages simultaneously.

This year we have 462 students with 6 - grade 7 classes, 5 – grade 8 classes, and 4 - grade 9 classes.

We currently have 1 Family School Liaison Worker, 1 Emotional Behavioral Specialist, 1 Counselling Therapist, 3 Therapeutic Behavioural Assistants, an Instructional Coach and an English as an Additional Language Designate.

Current Cardinal Leger students in grades 7 & 8 will have the option selection form sent to parents and guardians via School Messenger in the spring.

Students not currently enrolled with Edmonton Catholic Schools will have to complete the initial registration on www.ecsd.net first. After the registration is finalized, parents/guardians will be sent the option selection form from the school via School Messenger.
