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 resident 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 18, 2026, 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?
