For many home buyers, particularly those with children, a major criterion when purchasing a new home is the proximity to schools within the community.

Therefore, if you want your children to attend a certain school in School District #23, it is best if you reside within the catchment area for that particular school.

The Student Placement Regulations state that priority will be given to students in the following order:

  1. Catchment area students who, in the previous year, attended the school
  2. Catchment area students who, in the previous year, attended the school
  3. Catchment area students who, in the previous year, were ‘placed’ by the district in a different school
  4. Siblings of catchment area students
  5. New catchment area students
  6. Siblings of non-catchment area students currently enrolled in the school
  7. Non-catchment area students who request to attend the school which is other than their catchment area school
  8. Non-district area students
  9. International students
