Getting a place
How children get a place in Empire Park
The neighbourhood school
The neighbourhood school is the one the board designates for the address; choice beyond it depends on space.
Catholic schools
The province funds Catholic separate schools beside the public ones. Each separate board sets its own admission rules, usually giving Catholic families first place.
Independent schools
Independent schools choose their students and charge fees, with part of their costs paid by the province when they qualify.
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.
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
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. Boards come in one language each, and where the province funds Catholic schools, as public or Catholic; independent schools stand outside them.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Alberta only: never a place in a league table.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Empire Park and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
