There are a lot of reasons to come study in Alberta; here are our top 5 reasons!

Excellent Programming for International Students!

Alberta schools also offer expert instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL) to support students as they develop their English language proficiency.

Excellent Teaching!

Alberta prides itself in offering a high teaching quality standard. All of our teachers have a minimum of four years of post-secondary education leading to a bachelor of education (B.Ed.) degree; many have more. Alberta teachers know a broad range of instructional strategies and are able to determine which strategies are appropriate to help all students reach their potential.

High Quality Education and Academic Excellence!

Alberta’s High School diploma is recognized around the world. Alberta students consistently score well on international tests such as Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) and the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).

But don’t just take our word for it! We held a video contest to find out what students thought about Studying in Alberta and here’s what they had to say.

This is one of Alberta’s richest agricultural regions and offers rich and varied scenery. There are four distinct seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. With a moister climate than the grassland regions to the south, small streams and wetlands abound; bluffs and aspen and balsam poplar offer shelter to a variety of wildlife including waterfowl, deer, moose, and smaller wildlife. Camrose, the largest city in the school division has a population of more than 18,000. The city is large enough to have all the amenities of larger cities and is a safe and welcoming community. There are numerous small towns that also have welcoming, supportive communities. In Battle River School Division you will find modern services.
