Parkdale School teaches students in Grades K to 9, and is one of the seven schools in the EPSB City Centre Education Partnership.  Parkdale runs on a modified school schedule: three weeks of classes in August, a two week recess in October, two weeks recess at Christmas, a two week recess in the spring and five weeks off for summer break in July; which gives our students 200 days of classes.  Spreading the breaks out helps our students stay focused during classes and retain more after breaks.

Some of the educational programs and instructional methods currently used at Parkdale School are: Literacy and Opportunity Classrooms in Divisions II & III, Differentiated Instruction, Accelerated Reader, Guided Reading, Reciprocal Teaching, Balanced Literacy, 6 Trait Writing, Literacy Map, Big Brothers and Big Sisters Mentoring, Letters for Literacy, Reading Recovery, ORT Computer Training, Homework Help, daily morning snacks donated by Tom Goodchild's Sawmill Restaurant and E4C, and daily hot lunches donated by the Edmonton School Lunch Program for all students K through Grade 9.

Complementary courses for students in Grades 7, 8 and 9 include: Industrial Arts, Food Studies, Outdoor Education, Band, Visual Arts, Media Studies, French, Exploring Technology, Reading and Extra Math.  The Grade 7 students may also choose to take the Computer Studies course.
