Calgary schools and attendance areas
Consider school travel and program options as part of your home search. These Calgary Board of Education (CBE) resources explain how to check school designations and enrolment requirements.
Schools for a home address
Find schools and programs using school-board attendance boundaries for the current school year.
Schools across Greater Calgary

Start with the property address
CBE designates schools using a home address and chosen program. Check the address, grade, program and intended school year together.
- 1
Use the complete address
Include the street number, street name and quadrant (NW, NE, SW or SE), not just the community.
- 2
Check grade and program
Enter the address in CBE Find a School and check the intended grade and regular or alternative program.
- 3
Review the designation
Check the program’s attendance area and walk zone, along with the school year and capacity information.
- 4
Confirm with the school
Before choosing a property, ask the school about registration, program spaces and transportation.

Questions during a home search
Is the nearest school the designated school?
Not always. The address, program and available space affect placement. Your designated school may be in a nearby community.
Is a CBE Area an attendance boundary?
Areas are administrative groups. Check attendance boundaries by address, grade and program in Find a School.
Does buying a home guarantee a school place?
A property location is not an enrolment guarantee. Confirm capacity, lottery, overflow and boundary changes with CBE or the school.
Does this cover every school system?
This page focuses on CBE public schools. Consult other school authorities or independent schools directly for their arrangements.
These links guide you to official information; they do not guarantee placement. Confirm current arrangements directly with CBE and the school.
