Traditional Learning Centres

application process

The application process for the Traditional Learning Centre programs begins the second week of January at all sites. Applications (process chart) will be accepted between January and March 15, 2012. Should there be more applicants at any grade level than spaces available, a lottery system will be employed for appropriate candidates.

The priority for applications will be for students who:

reside in the residential district (see chart)
have siblings who will be continuing in the school
applied by March 15th, 2011 and reapply for 2012
reside in the program's designated attendance area, outside the residential district of the school (see map)
are non-resident in the Calgary Board of Education

Once a student is accepted into the program, a letter of confirmation will be sent by the end of April. The parent/guardian must confirm acceptance with the TLC school within 2 weeks of receiving confirmation.

Applications that are received after March 15th are accepted IN DATE ORDER. The waiting list remains in place until September 30. Where applicants are not accepted by September 30th, a new application must be made for the following year.

Students currently enrolled in one school who are transferring to another location (e.g., Grade 8 to Grade 9) are required to have a signed transfer form from the original school prior to taking the application package to their new school.
