Maps and contact information are available in this section. Planning resources for school authorities are also available. When it comes to selecting a school, parents and students can choose from a wide range of options. They can select from public schools, Catholic schools, francophone schools , private schools, and charter schools. They can also access a number of unique and innovative programs - including virtual schools.
Parents can also opt to home school their children.
Choice is one of the important principles Alberta's education system is built on. School Councils School Councils allow parents and the community to actively participate in their local school. These councils develop their own roles and function differently from one jurisdiction to another. Generally, they are involved in the decision making on school policies and goals. Funding The Government of Alberta is accountable for the equitable distribution of education dollars.
