Getting a place
How children get a place in Richmond
Catholic schools
Here the Catholic schools form a funded separate system; non-Catholic families may apply where a board allows it.
Independent schools
Admission to an independent school is by its own rules; fees apply, lowered by partial provincial funding.
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 neighbourhood school
The neighbourhood school is the one the board designates for the address; choice beyond it depends on space.
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
- Which schools count. Inside Richmond’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Alberta’s schools; the card shows a school’s average fifth.
