Allendale is located in south central Edmonton. The school serves students in grades seven to grade nine in the local community as well as providing a number of specialized programs. These programs include two alternative programs (Junior High Cogito and Junior High German Bilingual) and the Interactions Program for children with autism. All of the programs work in co-ordination to create a climate that fosters mutual respect and understanding across programs.

Our school has an active School Council comprised of parent representatives from the various programs. The school also leases space to a preschool program, Die Kleine Kinderschule. The school is also extensively used by the community for evening rentals.
