Welcome to École Wîhkwêntôwin School
We are so pleased to let you know that in April 2024, our school received a new name: Wîhkwêntôwin School.
Wîhkwêntôwin is a Cree word that can be translated into English as ‘circle of friends’. Wîhkwêntôwin is pronounced we-kwen-to-win.
We are excited to share the same name as the community we call home!

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 enroll in another Division school with space in planned classes.
