In The Peace Country
Education
In Alberta, school boards are responsible for educating people from Kindergarten to Grade 12 (covering a typical age spread of approximately 5 to 18 years).
In the Peace Country, there are a number of public school boards, each responsible for operating the schools in their area. These public school boards are:
-
Grande Prairie Public School District No. 2357 (operating schools within the City of Grande Prairie)
-
Northern Gateway Schools (operating schools in the southeast Peace Country, especially Valleyview)
-
Peace Wapiti School Division No. 76 (operating in the smaller communities of the south Peace Country)
-
Peace River School Division No. 10 (operating in the north Peace Country)
In addition, people of the Roman Catholic faith have their own school boards. These include:
-
Grande Prairie Catholic School District No. 28 (operating in the south Peace Country and Fairview)
-
Holy Family Catholic Regional Division No. 37 (operating in the north Peace Country)
First Nations people in the north Peace Country have their own school board. It is:
-
Northlands School Division No. 61
In addition there are French language schools operated by:
-
Conseil Scolaire du Nord-Ouest No. 1 (operating throughout the Peace Country)
And finally, there are a number of private schools.

Typically, when Peace Country families wish to register their children in school, they will contact the public, Roman Catholic or First Nations school board serving their area for the nearest school. They then visit that school and enroll their children.
Special Education
All school divisions provide each special-needs student with an Individual Program Plan (IPP). The teacher, special education teacher and principal coordinate the IPP to meet the learning needs of the student.
