Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) is one of the largest school divisions in Alberta, serving the education needs of approximately 17,750 students in 43 schools. Every day, the staff and students of EIPS are encouraged to pursue opportunities to grow and discover their passions in life. We pride ourselves on providing staff and students with the tools to achieve success by offering dynamic programming, current resources,

and practical professional learning opportunities.

EIPS is recruiting a probationary full-time French Immersion Division 2 Teacher at Forest Grove School. Applicants must be competent in both English and French. Forest Grove School is scheduled to open in August 2026, serving students in kindergarten to Grade 9. Students who previously attended École

Campbelltown and Sherwood Heights Junior High will come together at Forest

Grove School to establish a new community rooted in the rich histories of the former schools. The school is located in Sherwood Park, AB.

Forest Grove School will offer single-track French Immersion to students in kindergarten to Grade 6

and multiple programming options for students in grades 7 to 9, including dual-track programming in both English and French Immersion, and the Logos

Christian program and Junior High Honours program options for English students.

Why Forest Grove? Forest refers to a large group of trees while the word grove represents a smaller tree grouping.



The two combined represent small groups that come together to make a whole. At the new school, students, families,

staff and community members will come together in "groves" to create a larger community that will grow together.
