Getting a place
How children get a place in Sunalta
The neighbourhood school
Each board draws attendance areas: a child’s home address gives a designated school in each system. Families register with the board, and a school outside the area takes a child only if it has room.
French-language schools
Section 23 rights-holders, francophone parents or those schooled in French in Canada, have a place; others apply to the board’s committee.
Independent schools
Admission to an independent school is by its own rules; fees apply, lowered by partial provincial funding.
Catholic schools
Catholic schools are public here, run by separate boards that set their own admissions.
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
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Alberta’s schools; the card shows a school’s average fifth.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Sunalta and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
