Getting a place
How children get a place in Dalhousie
The neighbourhood school
Each school serves a defined area. A place elsewhere is possible when that school has room.
Catholic schools
The province funds Catholic separate schools beside the public ones. Each separate board sets its own admission rules, usually giving Catholic families first place.
Independent schools
Independent schools set their own admissions and fees; the province funds part of their costs where they meet its conditions.
French-language schools
A child qualifies for a French-language school when a parent’s first language is French or a parent went to French school in Canada; an admissions committee can admit others.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Boards come in one language each, and where the province funds Catholic schools, as public or Catholic; independent schools stand outside them.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Alberta publishes the share at each PAT standard and suppresses small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- Which schools count. The area is Dalhousie plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
