Getting a place
How children get a place in Strathcona County
Catholic schools
Catholic schools are public here, run by separate boards that set their own admissions.
Independent schools
Fees and admissions are each independent school’s own; the province covers a share of costs for those that meet its rules.
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 neighbourhood school
Families enrol through the board, which assigns the school serving their street; transfers depend on space.
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. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Strathcona County and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- 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 2025/26 list.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
