Getting a place
How children get a place in Sunnyside
French-language schools
French-language boards admit the children of rights-holders under section 23 of the Charter (a parent whose first language is French, or who was schooled in French in Canada), and may admit others through an admissions committee.
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.
The neighbourhood school
No application round, no lottery: the address fixes the school, and the board handles the paperwork.
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. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Sunnyside or within 3 km of it are here.
- 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.
- 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.
- The year. The province’s 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.
