Getting a place
How children get a place in Windermere
Catholic schools
Here the Catholic schools form a funded separate system; non-Catholic families may apply where a board allows it.
Independent schools
Independent schools here charge fees but receive some provincial funding if they meet its standards.
The neighbourhood school
Boards set boundaries for each school; living inside one guarantees a place there, and moving across one usually means a request.
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 kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Windermere and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Alberta’s schools; the card shows a school’s average fifth.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
