The ten public schools that operate in the region’s communities are under the jurisdiction of the Northern Lights School Division offering provincially certified instruction for grades K to 12. The schools have seen continuous growth of 3% per annum over the last five years which has resulted in substantial upgrading of facilities and expansion of curriculum to include language training in French, Arabic, Cree and Russian. Highly qualified educators, which are committed to providing a high standard of learning, staff the schools. Most schools have active parent advisory committees.

The community is proud of the provincial recognition given to several teachers and students, who have received awards for excellence in teaching and scholastic achievement.
