How children get a place in Mission
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives sets the school: each board draws a catchment around every one of its schools, and a child living inside it has a place there. Other schools take children from outside when they have room.
Catholic schools
Separate boards admit by their own policies, most giving priority to Catholic families.
Independent schools
Independent schools here charge fees but receive some provincial funding if they meet its standards.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Alberta only: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- The year. Listed for 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.
- Which schools count. The area is Mission plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
