Our Community
Enjoy a scenic drive through the prairies to the Town of Eckville! Eckville is located along Highway 766, northwest of Sylvan Lake, Alberta. Historically, Eckville was a pioneer community linked to the development of the railway and local agriculture industry. Today, that heritage remains true with the annual indoor rodeo and agricultural support industries that have made Eckville home for so many over the years. Here you will enjoy sweeping views of the prairies while you practice your swing at our local golf courses or take in the locally owned stores. Eckville is a place worth discovering.

At Eckville Elementary School, our mission is to foster a dynamic learning environment where students not only gain knowledge but also thrive holistically. We celebrate the uniqueness of each child, acknowledging their individual strengths, talents, and passions. Through experiential learning, we aim to cultivate the intellectual, physical, emotional, and social growth of every student.
As educators, we are dedicated to facilitating personalised development by fostering meaningful connections between students, teachers, and parents. Collaboration and cooperation among all stakeholders are integral to achieving our overarching objective.
Respect and dignity form the cornerstone of our ethos, ensuring that every individual feels valued and supported. We are committed to guiding each child towards success across a diverse range of activities, equipping them with the skills and confidence to excel in all aspects of life.
