For the 2025-2026 school year we will no longer accept enrollment requests for Grades 7 to 9 in the Academic Alternative program.

A resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic. Non-resident students can enroll in another Division school with space in planned classes.
