Best Schools

Edmonton offers excellent education opportunities from pre-school all the way to graduate school. While some schools require you to live in a certain area to attend them, some have entrance eligibility requirements, and others are open to everyone.

The public and separate school boards have designated attendance areas for all schools - if a student lives within the attendance area, they are eligible to attend. If a student doesn't live in the attendance area they may still be eligible to attend unless the school has closed boundaries. It's a system that can be confusing at first, but it also gives parents more options when it comes to finding the right school for their children.

If you have your eye on a specific school, you must contact the school directly to make sure your child is eligible to attend or find out what is required for eligibility.
