Kindergarten - Grade 5
Every Student; a Success Story
Nestled in the heart of Edson, Alberta, along the scenic Yellowhead Highway, Mary Bergeron Elementary (MBE) is a vibrant and modern K–5 school that first opened its doors in 2017. As one of two elementary schools in the Grande Yellowhead Public School Division, we’re proud to serve our growing community with heart, innovation, and a deep commitment to student success.
At MBE, learning is more than just a daily routine — it’s a journey. In addition to strong core academics, our students explore exciting opportunities in STEM, Cree culture and language, leadership building experiences, community service projects, art, music, drama, and physical education, guided by passionate specialist teachers who bring learning to life.
What truly sets us apart is our people.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of over 35 staff — including teachers, educational assistants, a learning support teacher, a speech-language pathologist, a family school liaison counsellor, and an admin team — all working in harmony to support each child’s unique path.
But the magic of MBE doesn’t stop at the staffroom door.
Our students bring curiosity, creativity, and kindness to school each day. And our families? They’re the heart of our community — involved, supportive, and essential partners in the learning process.
Here at MBE, we believe that relationships are the foundation of everything we do. Trust, respect, and collaboration create the conditions where every child can thrive — and where every student truly becomes a success story.

“We’ve Got This!”
Mary Bergeron Elementary strives to be a world-class elementary school. We build the foundation for this school improvement journey through meaningful relationships, relevant and engaging learning, and effective communication. We challenge ourselves to be better than we think we can be, and advocate for the greater good of our multidimensional school community. Our success in this mission will build lifelong, confident learners, who have the tools necessary for success in an ever-changing world.
Every Student; a Success Story
Rooted in Relationships. Grounded in Growth. Centered on Students.
At Mary Bergeron Elementary, our philosophy is simple: students come first — always. We believe that every child has a unique story, and it’s our job to help them grow into the very best version of themselves — academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. Learning isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is teaching. That’s why we commit to knowing our students deeply and designing learning experiences that meet them where they are — while helping them reach where they’re capable of going.
We take a balanced approach to education, recognizing that core academics are only one part of a student’s development. At MBE, students engage in rich learning across subjects like literacy, numeracy, science, and social studies — while also exploring music, art, drama, STEM, and physical education. But just as importantly, they grow as citizens, leaders, friends, and problem-solvers. Through intentional character education, inclusive classrooms, and strong relationships, we create a school culture where students feel safe, valued, and inspired to succeed.
