Principal’s message

Principles of equity and inclusive education set the foundation upon which we develop positive school climates.  Eden honours the unique experiences, cultures, viewpoints, and talents that make up each one of our students and staff members. Our strength lies in the diversity of these traits.  To this end, we strive to remove barriers so that every student has the opportunity to succeed personally and academically in a positive climate that respects and nurtures students of all backgrounds, identities and personal circumstances.

All of our courses in Grade 9 are offered as destreamed or Open courses.  We offer academic and Applied in Grade 10 (as well as Open).  In the senior grades, we offer College, Open, Mixed and University. Eden offers the Specialist High School Major program in four areas: Business, Construction, Sport and Automotive Technology.  Our graduates take gap years, attend colleges and universities, start apprenticeships and enter the world of work with skills necessary for happiness and success.

Our pursuit of excellence is evident not only in academics, but in the arts and athletics as well.  We offer visual arts, digital arts, drama, vocal and instrumental music as well as media arts.  Eden High School athletics are a team in every sense of the word as they push themselves to compete against the best in Ontario.  Our clubs are diverse and student-centered and our partnership with families through School Council creates understanding while challenging ourselves to be our best.
