Getting a place
How children get a place in Silver Springs
The neighbourhood school
Attendance zones do the sorting here. Inside the zone a child is in; outside it, the answer turns on how full the school is.
French-language schools
French-language schools are for children of section 23 rights-holders first; the board may admit others case by case.
Independent schools
Independent schools choose their students and charge fees, with part of their costs paid by the province when they qualify.
Catholic schools
Here the Catholic schools form a funded separate system; non-Catholic families may apply where a board allows it.
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
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Alberta’s schools; the card shows a school’s average fifth.
- The year. The 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.
- Which schools count. The area is Silver Springs plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- 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.
