Use School Locator to look up your catchment area school according to your home address.

Please note: While every effort has been made to provide accurate information, should there be any discrepancy, the final decision on catchment area school resides with the School District.

Residence Outside a School's Catchment Area

If you are seeking placement for your child at a school other than your catchment area school, please complete a registration package and a Non-Catchment Area Application form. 

Please note that requests are not guaranteed and will be determined based on availability of space, facilities, and educational resources.

When all required information has been provided, your child's name will be added to the waitlist for the appropriate grade level at your school of choice. This may take a bit longer because the school won’t confirm spots for non‑catchment students until all catchment families are placed.  Placements are based on the following enrolment priorities:

1. Continuing student
2. Sibling of continuing student at the same school
3. Catchment area child
4. Non-catchment area child
5. Non-school district child of a SD63 employee
6. Non-school district child

Once registered in a school, students will be considered continuing.  This also applies to students transitioning from elementary to middle and middle to secondary.  Please note the sibling priority only applies if the older sibling is still attending the school when the youngest enters. Once school placement is confirmed, the receiving school will contact the family.
