Getting a place
How children get a place in St. Albert
The neighbourhood school
Each school serves a defined area. A place elsewhere is possible when that school has room.
Independent schools
An independent school decides whom it takes and what it charges; provincial grants cover part of the cost.
Catholic schools
Catholic schools are public here, run by separate boards that set their own admissions.
French-language schools
A child qualifies for a French-language school when a parent’s first language is French or a parent went to French school in Canada; an admissions committee can admit others.
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 come in one language each, and where the province funds Catholic schools, as public or Catholic; independent schools stand outside them.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. The area is St. Albert plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
