For the 2024 - 2025 school year, Esther Starkman School is full in planned classes in Grades 3, 5, and Grade 8 in the regular program. We will now only accept resident students in Grades 3, 5, and 8 whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have newly moved into the school’s attendance area for the regular program. 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.

NEW - Chinese (Mandarin) Bilingual Program
Starting in 2024-25 School Year
The Chinese (Mandarin) Bilingual program will be offered in junior high at Esther Starkman School for the 2024–25 school year. The program will start with one Grade 7 class.
As students move to the next grade, we’ll expand the program by one grade level. As long as there is sufficient demand, this process will be followed each year, meaning we’ll eventually offer the program for Grades 7–9.
Current Grade 6 students who wish to continue in the Chinese (Mandarin) Bilingual program in junior high in the 2024–25 school year can pre-enroll in SchoolZone from 8 a.m. on February 1 to 4 p.m. on March 22, 2024.
Students will be accepted based on the Division’s HC.AR Student Admission and Enrolment regulation. If there is more demand than space, students will be chosen by random selection.

Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Students,
It is the mission of Esther Starkman School to “ensure high levels of learning for ALL of our students.” We want our students to think, problem-solve, and apply the knowledge they learn so that they are exceptionally well-prepared to succeed in our ever-changing world. To that end, our staff works as a professional learning community engaging in job-embedded professional development weekly. Our teachers are learners themselves, constantly improving their instructional practices and collaborating to create a diverse and rewarding classroom experience.
Esther Starkman is a community school that places great value on creating positive relationships with our parent community. We believe education is a partnership between parents and the school, we therefore strive to provide parents with up-to-date and relevant information regarding their child’s learning. Daily, through SchoolZone/Goggle Classroom, our parents will receive all the information they require to participate in their child’s school experience.
On behalf of the staff, I welcome you to Esther Starkman School. We hope that your experience at Esther Starkman is rewarding and will cause you to believe as we do, that this truly is a school of “Excellence!”
Sincerely,
Kyril Mueller, Principal
