Independent schools
Independent schools set their own admissions and fees; the province funds part of their costs where they meet its conditions.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within River Valley Oleskiw and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- Boards and systems. A public school belongs to a board of one language; in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan a board is also public or Catholic. An independent school runs itself.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Alberta only: never a place in a league table.
