Alberta private school rankings

A low admission rate might seem a simple, straightforward measure of which private schools are the best. However, other mitigating factors affect schools' acceptance rates. Some Alberta private schools have better marketing; others have a perceived prestige that may be based on a long history. Regardless, many excellent schools have a 100% acceptance rate and will help your child(ren) thrive. As said above, we encourage you to focus your school search efforts on finding the school that matches the needs of your child(ren).

Many parents focus on class size as the most important factor when considering the private school option. However, the teacher-student ratio is only one aspect of overall school life. Many Alberta private schools with standard class sizes offer an excellent education. Below, find private schools ranked in terms of the average class size they report to OUR KIDS.

It can seem easy (even simplistic) to equate cost with quality. It may seem implicit that schools charging the highest tuition offer the best education, being able to provide the best facilities, hire the most qualified teachers, and facilitate the best sports programs, etc. However, other factors affect the overall school environment, of course.

More importantly, many students will not fare well in an environment their parents choose solely based on expense. We encourage parents to use common sense and focus on choosing a school where their child(ren) will thrive personally, academically, spiritually and socially. Many Alberta private schools with very reasonable tuition rates will offer your child(ren) the ideal learning environment to propel them to success.
