Suzuki Charter School is a public K-9 school nestled in the beautiful Capilano neighbourhood. As an open-boundary school, we welcome students from Kindergarten to Grade Nine from all over the greater Edmonton area. At Suzuki Charter School we believe that "every child can" succeed within our nurturing mastery-focused environment and therefore there are no tests or auditions required for entrance to our program. 

Registration Process:

• Step 1:  In-House Registration: 
  • Kindergarten - Grade 6:  Our registration process begins in December as we complete our priority registration for the upcoming school year with our returning students, siblings, staff members' children, and, if spaces allow, alumni children or students who live in the Suzuki Community Boundary. 
  • Grades 7 - 9:  Due to limited spaces, Junior High registration will be completed using an online form that date-stamps applications; spaces will be filled based on the order they are received.
• Step 2:  Open Application Lottery:
  • Kindergarten - Grade 6:  Once In-House Registration is completed, available spaces are calculated and filled using an Open Application Lottery random selection process that begins the day after our Open House and continues any time space becomes available (if a student withdraws enrollment or declines a space) until the end of September.  We do not transfer students in mid-year (after September 30th) even if spaces become available due to the structure of our programming. 
  • Grades 7 - 9:  In the event there are available spaces, Junior High registration will be completed using an online form that date-stamps applications; spaces will be filled based on the order they are received.

To participate in the Registration Process, please complete a Digital Registration Application Form or Hard Copy Registration Application Form at any time throughout the year. These forms are held until the end of September of the applicable school year.
