Who we are:
Mission
Celebrate, preserve, promote, and enhance Catholic education.
Vision
"That all have access to a publicly funded Catholic education."
Core Purpose
We are committed to a unified voice providing spiritual and political leadership for publicly funded Catholic education.
The Alberta Catholic School Trustees’ Association (ACSTA) was formed in 1966 to support and represent 24 member boards from across Alberta, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories. We advocate for the Catholic schools system at the provincial & territorial level, and provide faith-formation and fellowship opportunities for Catholic trustees.
Catholic schools are distinct formational communities that are able to nurture the spiritual, academic, and physical needs of students. We do this by fully permeating the Alberta Education curriculum with our faith - including the teachings of Sacred Scripture, Catholic Tradition and Apostolic authority. Catholic education is a unique partnership between school, home, and parish that seeks to develop a student’s whole person by integrating academic excellence and faith.
The central focus of Catholic education at all levels is Jesus Christ. Every Catholic school is ordered towards Him. Our schools strive to manifest His presence and teachings in the education of children entrusted to our care.

Whereas the aim of Catholic Education is the development of each student towards personal fulfillment and responsible citizenship motivated by the Spirit of the Gospel and modeled on the example of Jesus Christ, the Catholic School Trustee shall, within the duties prescribed in Acts and Regulations and reflecting a ministry within the Church:
- acknowledge that Catholic schools are an expression of the teaching mission of the Church;
- provide an example to the Catholic Community by active participation in the communal life of a parish, and by a personal lifestyle that reflects the teachings of the Church;
- provide the best possible Catholic education according to the programs approved by the Canadian Conference of Catholic bishops and the provincial Minister of Education;
- affirm a strong sense of Christian Community;
- recognize and defend the democratic and corporate authority of the board
- respect the confidentiality of the board;
- strictly support all board policies;
- ensure the affairs of the Board are conducted with openness, justice and compassion; work to improve personal knowledge of current Catholic educational research and practices;
- provide support, encouragement and prayer for the efforts of all persons engaged in the ministry of Catholic Education in Canada.

- Catholic schools are a publicly funded, vibrant part of the public education system in Alberta, Northwest Territories and Yukon.
- Catholic schools provide an environment for their students which encourages not only high academic achievement, but also person and communal spiritual formation.
- The presence of the Catholic faith is permeated within every element of the school. Our Catholic school communities are guided by faith.
- 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 witnessed and exemplified in action.
- 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.
