Welcome to
Louis St. Laurent, An IB World School, and a Fine Arts Focus School
Louis
St. Laurent School is a vibrant Grade 7-12 school located in the south west
part of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. With approximately 1100 students, LSL is a
unique combination of a Junior and Senior High School. This combination
exists today under one name, Louis St. Laurent or LSL as many like to call
our school. The school has approximately 450 students in Junior High (Grades
7-9) and 650 in Senior High (Grades 10-12). Many years ago, there were two
schools - a Junior High (Cartier McGee) and a separate Senior High (Louis St.
Laurent). These were two physically separate schools located beside each
other on one single campus. In 1974 a central hallway link was built
connecting the two schools on the first level, giving students and staff
access to both facilities. In 1993 the connector was further modified to
include a large ancillary room which serves as a meeting room, lunch room and
for various activities that require a large space.
