Our Catholic Schools

• Catholic schools are a publicly funded, vibrant part of the public education system in Alberta.
   
• Catholic schools provide an environment for their students which encourages not only high academic achievement, but also personal growth for the whole school community.
   
• The presence of the Catholic faith is highlighted within every element of the school. Our Catholic school communities are guided by and energized with faith.
   
• A number of community leaders were educated in Catholic schools.
   
• Indeed, Catholic schools are something special!
   
• Catholic education has held a longstanding distinct role in Alberta’s public education system. This role existed prior to the creation of the province and then was further solidified constitutionally with the Alberta Act, 1905. Catholic education is still celebrated and continually strengthened today through Alberta’s publicly funded system.
   
• Enrolment in Catholic schools has experienced a steady increase.
   
• Within Catholic school communities the values of the Gospel and Catholic teachings are not only taught but they are exemplified.
   
• A commitment to the ethics of social justice dwells not only within the walls of the school, but also within the community. This contributes to the wellbeing of our larger communities. Catholic schools celebrate this nurturing and know that it makes Catholic education something special.
   
• Catholic schools have become a definitive and positive choice for many families in Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
