Getting a place
How children get a place in Virginia Park
The neighbourhood school
Each school serves a defined area. A place elsewhere is possible when that school has room.
Independent schools
Independent schools here charge fees but receive some provincial funding if they meet its standards.
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.
French-language schools
Eligibility comes from the parents: French as a first language, or French schooling in Canada; otherwise, the board’s admissions committee decides.
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. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
- The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
- Bands, not ranks. Fifths are worked out among every Alberta school with a PAT result, then averaged per school.
- 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. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Virginia Park or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
