Re-opened as Academy @ King Edward 1992, which offers specialized programming for students with learning disabilities in Grades 2 to 12. The students are taught, in small classes, to understand their learning strengths and challenges and to develop strategies that allow them to become lifelong learners.

King Edward [1914] School was built on the grounds of Grandin Street School. The 1914 building had 17 classrooms. For the first time, the large assembly hall was built on the first floor, unlike other schools of the time that had it on the top floor. This allowed for easier use of the hall by the local community. The building had an automatic heat regulator, separate playrooms for boys and girls and “shower baths”. In 1920, King Edward School became the city’s fourth experimental junior high school. The experiment was abandoned in 1925. In 1928, six rooms were rented to the government and used for teacher training purposes, which operated as King Edward Normal School until 1930. Strathcona Commercial School was also located in the building during the 1920s.
