Ellenvale Junior High School is a Canadian
public school in the Woodlawn
area of Dartmouth

. It is operated by the Halifax Regional School Board
(HRSB).
Along with English for most students, Ellenvale offers the grade 7 late entry French immersion
program.
Before attending Ellenvale, students either go to Alderney Elementary School, Brookhouse Elementary School or Portland Estates Elementary School
, although because of the French immersion
program, students from other schools in Dartmouth
will sometimes be admitted.
