New Registrations over the Summer
Our schools are closed after June 30 for the summer. For any new registrations, if the student is a Canadian citizen, please register with your designated school when it re-opens in August. Check the school's website for their back-to-school information. If the student is not a Canadian citizen, please contact
CBE’s Welcome Centre, which is open for most of the summer.
Information for Parents Registering Their First Child in School
Registration at schools in The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) is not determined on a first come, first served basis. Registration and admission to schools in CBE are governed by the
Education Act and Administrative Regulation 6090 | Child and Student Registration and Admission.
Program Choice
You have the option to register your child in their designated regular program school or, space permitting, designated alternative program school.
An
alternative program is a program that:
- emphasizes a particular language, culture or subject matter; or

All other programs fall under the
regular program umbrella.
