Getting a place
How children get a place in Capilano
The neighbourhood school
Children go to the board’s designated school for their address, unless another school agrees to take them.
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
The French boards take rights-holders’ children by right and others by committee.
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
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Alberta only: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- 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.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Capilano or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
