Gem School is excited to welcome a new Kindergarten program beginning in the 2026–2027 school year!
Running two days per week, this new program is a great fit for families looking for a school with fewer students and a close-knit rural school setting. Children can benefit from more hands-on support, meaningful connections, and opportunities to build confidence, independence, and social skills.
For families who are homeschooling, considering school for the first time, or looking for a small and caring classroom, Gem School offers a unique option for Kindergarten.
Enrollment for Gem School’s Kindergarten program is now open! https://www.grasslands.ab.ca/page/registration
