Schooling in English and French around Altadore
The language each school teaches in, against every school in Alberta.
The mark on each bar is the share of schools in Alberta.
The Southern Francophone Education Region runs the public French-language schools; all 1 are École Sainte-Marguerite-Bourgeoys.
Section 23 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives French-speaking parents the right to French-language schooling for their children, through the French-language boards.
How children get a place in Altadore
French-language schools
French-language boards admit the children of rights-holders under section 23 of the Charter (a parent whose first language is French, or who was schooled in French in Canada), and may admit others through an admissions committee.
Independent schools
Fees and admissions are each independent school’s own; the province covers a share of costs for those that meet its rules.
Catholic schools
Catholic separate schools are publicly funded here; each separate board decides whom it admits, Catholic families first.
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives settles it: the board’s map ties every address to one school, and a seat anywhere else waits on spare room.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Altadore or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Alberta publishes the share at each PAT standard and suppresses small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
