Anyone got any experience of schools in St Albert, Edmonton? St Albert is quite unusual in having the catholic schools as the mainstream system and protestant schools as the separate system. I would only be considering the protestant system.

From the Wikipedia article on St. Albert:

K-12 Education

St. Albert is an anomaly in that the Catholic school district is the public system, and the Protestant school district is separate. In all other areas of Alberta this is reversed, the public system is either Protestant or non-religious.

School districts

• Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools (Public): The third largest Catholic school division in Alberta serving 17 schools and approximately 7600 students.
  
  
• St. Albert Protestant Schools (Separate): Serving over 6000 students taught in a non-denominational setting.

St. Albert is also home to the North Central Francophone School Board. Their schools name is "La Mission" located in the Heritage Lakes sub-division.

It's not a big deal. If you want your child(ren) to be educated in a Protestant school, register him / her / them with the St. Alberta Protestant school board.

Education is free in a separate school district, just as it is in a public school district. Both are government-funded.

In case you don't know, K-12 is an abbreviation for Kindergarten to Grade 12.

Hope that helps.

Edited to add that I've only just noticed that you were not asking a question about the set up. You already knew the set up and were asking if anyone had personal experience. Sorry, I don't have experience of the schools in St. Albert. Still, I don't know what difference the set up would make. St. Albert is considered to be a "nice" satellite town of Edmonton. In my experience, "nice" neighbourhoods generally have "nice" schools.
