Education
The Fort Vermilion School
Division No. 52 
operates
14 schools, one native school for the Department of Indian Affairs and
Northern Development and three Learning Stores (storefront schools).
The division maintains an enviable average class size of 20, lower than
Alberta Learning Commission’s recommendations.
School facilities are continually expanding to keep pace with the
rapidly growing student population.
Contemporary instruction, highly qualified teachers and a low-student-teacher ration makes for a solid and secure public education system for children kindergarten to grade 12.
Northern Alberta Institute
of Technology and
Northern
Lakes College round out the complement of full-service education. Each institution
offers quality instruction in trades and technical training.
From business administration and trades training, there’s something for everyone at NAIT’s northern campus in High Level or though NAIT’s distance learning program.
In Fort Vermilion and Paddle Prairie, Northern Lakes College delivers flexible programming in career training and academic upgrading.
