Diefenbaker High School for grades 10-12, including an IB Diploma program, both in-community for the 2026-2027 school year. Kenneth D. Taylor School serves grades K-3 but is currently flagged for lottery or overflow by CBE, meaning K-3 placement there is not guaranteed and should be confirmed directly with the board.

CBE and CSSD boundaries are reviewed periodically and can change; families should confirm current designations directly with each board before purchasing.
