The Elk Island Logos Society
exists to serve parents and community
members who support the Mission and
Principles of the Logos Christian Program.
After
incorporating in 1997, the Elk Island Logos
Society adopted the Logos Program Proposal
from Edmonton Public Schools and worked
closely with Elk Island Public Schools to
develop the program for this school
district. The Society brought forward
the proposal to the Elk Island Public Board
of Trustees in January, 1998. The
program was ultimately approved and
implemented in three Elk Island Public
Schools in September, 1998. The
program has now grown to over 350
students (Sept. 2010) in 3 schools spread
through grades K-9.

Christian program being offered in

concerning Christian qualifications.

opportunity each year for parents and
staff to gather together to fellowship
and to worship and thank God for this
amazing program. We also support Logos
