About Us

Lendrum School is a strong community school located in the southwest part of the city, within close proximity to the University of Alberta's South Campus and Southgate Centre.  Named after an early land surveyor, Robert Lendrum, our school opened its doors in 1962 and is presently the designated receiving school for the communities of Lendrum Place and Pleasantview.

In the fall of 2007, Lendrum School and École Avalon School (Junior High), officially partnered as a dual campus facility, situated across from each other on a common school ground, both schools benefit daily from an exchange of resources, expertise, and the students frequently enjoy activities together.

Art enrichment is a big part of Lendrum School.  The intention is to provide a broad variety of creative experiences to enhance learning for all students both through Artists-In-Residence workshops, author visits, performances and field trips.
