The Ukrainian Bilingual Program (UBP) is a partial immersion program, in which the basic subjects, consisting of science, mathematics and English, are taught in English, and the other subjects, including social studies, music, arts, physical education and Ukrainian language, are taught in Ukrainian.

The UBP was implemented by the Edmonton Catholic School System in the fall of 1974 and started as a three-year pilot project under the auspices of the Department of Education. An integral part of the UBP project was the annual evaluation of the extent to which the pupils in the program are achieving in their academic subjects, acquiring skills in the Ukrainian oral language, and the attitudes of the pupils and parents, teachers, and administrators towards the existing program. After the pilot phase, the Bilingual Program was offered in 1978 in the Edmonton Separate School System as well as in the Edmonton Public School System. The Separate, i.e. Catholic Schools offering the UBP included St. Matthew, St. Martin, and St. Bernadette. In Public Schools, the UBP was provided in five schools: Delwood, Holyrood, Northmount, Rundle and Rio Terrace. During the first year of the pilot project, 101 students were enrolled in the program and its success led to its permanent approval and simultaneous extension to Grade 6 by the Government of Alberta in 1976. The program was further extended to Grade 9 in 1980 and to Grade 12 in 1983.

Parental groups played an essential part in the existence of bilingual programs in general and the UBP in particular. They lobbied governments and made presentations to local school boards, convincing them to open their school to the concept and teaching of bilingual classes. When the UBP was first implemented, the Ukrainian Kindergarten Association assumed responsibility for acting on behalf of parents who had children enrolled in the Ukrainian Bilingual Program in the Edmonton Public and Catholic School Systems. However, this association was dissolved when the Ukrainian Bilingual Association was incorporated.

The Ukrainian Bilingual Association (UBLA) is a non-profit parental organization formed in 1974 to assist the establishment of the Ukrainian Bilingual Program in Edmonton Public Schools. UBLA’s goal was to develop bilingual language education programs in the Province of Alberta. UBLA prepared submissions to the Government of Alberta and organized publicity and recruitment campaigns on behalf of the bilingual program. Specifically, its projects included the recruitment of students, the arrangement of transportation of bilingual program students in the Edmonton Public School System, Junior High School Scholarships and publicity, increasing public awareness of the availability and existence of Ukrainian language education in Alberta schools. Furthermore, UBLA subsidized the annual Grade 6 graduation banquet and dance, and it organized the Ukrainian Daycamp – an extension of the UBP – until the foundation of APUE in 1984.
