2025 - 2026 School Year Update

For the 2025 - 2026 school year, Londonderry School is full in planned classes in Grades 7 and 9 in the regular program AND Grades 7 to 9 in the Chinese (Mandarin) Bilingual and Academic Enrichment programs. We will no longer be accepting students in the Chinese (Mandarin) Bilingual and Academic Enrichment programs. For the regular program, we will now only accept resident students for Grades 7 and 9 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved 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 new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online. 

Pre-Enrolment and Registration Update

Thanks to all the families who pre-enrolled before the March 19, 2025, deadline to help our school get ready for next year! 

We had more requests than available space, which means new students will be chosen by random selection in the following grades/programs:

Grade 7 Academic Enrichment

Grade 9  Academic Enrichment

If your child is entering one of these grades/programs, you will be notified about the results by April 11, 2025.

For all other grades/programs, your child has been accepted, and we will not be contacting you.

Welcome

Londonderry Junior High School is known for its longstanding “Tradition of Excellence”. We expect excellent results from all students.  Our achievement results on the provincial achievement tests indicate our students continue to perform very well in all four core subject areas (Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies).   All staff members work together to create a school focused on student learning. Our teachers, who are passionate and knowledgeable about their subject areas, design instruction and assessments so that students are engaged in and responsible for their learning. Our teaching assistants provide small group assistance for struggling learners. To encourage students to be lifelong readers, our extensive library provides current high interest books. Our office staff assists students daily with inquiries, concerns, and maintaining school operations. For our school to be a source of pride and a hub of learning, our custodial staff maintains a clean environment. 

Londonderry has also been commended for its excellence in student conduct and citizenship. All of our students are expected to treat themselves, others, and our school with respect and fairness. Periodically, we hold assemblies in our gym to create a cohesive school culture and community. We discuss important issues, mark significant events and celebrate student leadership which raises awareness and donations for many charitable organizations.  Each month a character trait is discussed, encouraged and celebrated.

Londonderry school offers a wide range of complementary courses and extracurricular clubs, our students are able to develop their talents and interests. The incredible work of students in our many Performing and Visual Arts courses can be regularly seen at district performance and exhibits.

Our Mandarin Bilingual program was one of the first in Alberta and has an uncontested reputation for its rigorous language development and successful alumni. Our Mandarin program is further enhanced with our partnership with a school in Shandong Province.  Both the Mandarin and French courses contribute to the diversity in our school and have helped create not only a tolerance for multiculturalism, but a celebration of it.

Our many sports team throughout the years have consistently achieved high standings in district leagues, playoffs and tournaments, as evident in our overflowing showcases of medals and trophies. The competitive spirit also drives our intramural program as every lunch hour our gym is teeming with students.

Londonderry school’s tradition of excellence is a source of pride and is a continuing inspiration for students and staff to reach their individual potential and to strengthen the school community.
