What is a resident student?

A student who has at least one parent living in Edmonton who is also Non-Roman Catholic.

If I do not get into Strathcona, because I am unsuccessful in the random selection process, what do I do?

If you are a residence student, then you are guaranteed a spot in your attendance area school. You can also apply to any school that is not presently closed to out of attendance area students.

I applied to Old Scona Academy (Edmonton School Division) or Archbishop MacDonald (Catholic School Division). Can I still register at Strathcona High School as well?

No, however, both Old Scona and Archbishop MacDonald will let you know of your acceptance before the March 15, 2024 deadline. If you decide not to attend or are not accepted, you would then select the school you are interested in.

How do I register at Strathcona?

See the Edmonton Public School Website registration tab.

What is meant by attendance area?

This is the geographical area designated to a specific Division School.
** Living in the attendance area does not guarantee enrollment.

Who is guaranteed into Strathcona?

1 - Resident students in the attendance area

2 - Siblings of current students who are returning

3 - German and Spanish Bilingual students who are current students of the Division

Will Strathcona High School be going to a random selection process (for students not in the attendance area) this year?

We welcome and strongly encourage all interested students to apply to Strathcona for next year. While we have gone to random selection in the past we are excited to be accepting more students than in previous years. As such, we hope to avoid the random selection process or at least accept a high number of students.

Do marks make a difference when being accepted into a Strathcona?

No, all students are treated equally.

If I apply for Advance Placement am I guaranteed to get into Strathcona?
