Frequently Asked Questions About Forest Heights Schools
What public schools serve Forest Heights, Calgary?
Forest Heights is served by the Calgary Board of Education (CBE). Your designated schools depend on your exact address. Use the CBE Find a School tool with your postal code to confirm your designated elementary, middle/junior high, and senior high schools. Many Forest Heights families also access CBE alternative programs such as French Immersion, Traditional, Montessori, or Gifted and Talented.
What Catholic schools are near Forest Heights?
Catholic families in Forest Heights are served by the Calgary Catholic School District (CSSD). Each address has a designated Catholic elementary and junior/senior high school. CSSD also offers French Immersion, Spanish Bilingual, and other specialized programs at select sites.

Yes. Both the CBE and CSSD offer French Immersion programs at designated schools across Calgary, and Forest Heights families can apply. French Immersion typically begins in Kindergarten or Grade 1, with late-entry options in Grade 7 at some schools. Space may be limited and is often allocated by lottery or boundary priority, so register early.
How do I register my child for school in Forest Heights?
Registration for CBE and CSSD schools is typically done online through each district's registration portal. You will need proof of address, your child's birth certificate, immigration or citizenship documents, and immunization records. Registration for the next school year usually opens in January or February.
Do school boundaries change in Forest Heights?
Yes. School boundaries, designated schools, and program locations can change from year to year as new schools open and populations shift. Always verify your designated school using the CBE or CSSD locator tools for the current school year before you buy a home, sign a lease, or register.
How do school ratings work for Forest Heights schools?
School ratings shown on this page and on third-party sites such as Fraser Institute are comparative indicators based on standardized test results and other metrics. They do not capture everything that matters — including teacher quality, class sizes, arts and athletics, special education supports, or school culture. Use ratings as one data point alongside school visits, parent reviews, and conversations with the school administration.
Is Forest Heights a good area for families with school-age children?
Forest Heights is widely considered a family-friendly community in Calgary, with access to public and Catholic schools, parks, pathways, and community amenities. The best fit depends on your family's priorities — program availability, commute times, and housing type.
