The Department of Education is hosting a Zoom webinar about kindergarten registration and Early French Immersion Kindergarten programs for the 2026–27 school year.
The session will be held on Wednesday, January 21 at 7 pm.
Yukon children who will be five years old by December 31, 2026, are eligible to start kindergarten in the fall of 2026. Parents and guardians of those eligible children are invited to attend the information session to learn about the registration process, program details and to have their questions answered by department staff.
Online registration for kindergarten at all Whitehorse schools opens on Tuesday, February 3. This includes French Immersion Kindergarten programs (at École Selkirk Elementary and École Whitehorse Elementary), First Nation School Board schools (Takhini Elementary and Grey Mountain Primary) and Catholic schools (Christ the King Elementary and Holy Family Elementary).
Registration for rural community schools and Commission scolaire francophone du Yukon (CSFY) schools are done directly with the school. Registration can be done at any time before the school year starts.

When registering, parents and guardians will be asked to provide a digital copy of their child’s identification, such as a birth certificate, passport or Canadian citizenship certificate. If they cannot provide it at the time, they can present it to the school later.

Children must attend kindergarten at a school in their local neighborhood or area. This does not apply for Catholic schools, French Immersion and French first-language schools and First Nation School Board schools, which have wider attendance areas. Attendance area information can be found on the register your child for school page.
