The Alberta School for the Deaf is a provincial school in Edmonton, Alberta with elementary and secondary residential and day programs serving deaf and hard-of-hearing students.[2]
Teachers are both deaf and hearing. Alberta School for the Deaf is modeled on a bilingual-bicultural approach.[3] The total enrollment, including the elementary school, is 100 as of 2020–21. Students from across Alberta and the Northwest Territories attend the school.[1]
Deaf students from Canada often attend Gallaudet University in Washington D.C. for post-secondary programs.
In 2010, the Connect Society relocated its school and outreach programs to the Alberta School for the Deaf.[4]
