Schools in Southwest Edmonton: Open Now and Being Built
Southwest Edmonton is where most of the city's new school construction is happening: two Edmonton Public schools in Glenridding Heights, Edmonton Catholic K-9 schools for Hays Ridge and Cavanagh, an addition at Dr. Anne Anderson, and a planned Catholic high school near Rabbit Hill Road and 21 Avenue SW. If you are buying in a newer southwest community, the school your child attends in 2026 may not be the one they attend in 2029.

Our high school area pages list the five neighbourhoods closest to each school.
How to use school news when you buy
- Price the interim years. Ask which school serves the address today and how your child gets there until the new building opens.
- Read the plan, not the sign. A school site on a neighbourhood plan is not a funded school. The boards' capital plans show which projects have money.
- Expect boundary changes. New schools redraw attendance areas for the neighbourhoods around them.
Start with the elementary, junior high and French immersion pages for what is open now.
Attendance areas change. A school named here is confirmed to exist at its address; it is not a promise that a given home is in its attendance area. Check any address with the Edmonton Public Schools Find a School tool and the Edmonton Catholic School Finder before you write an offer.

School planning questions for southwest buyers
Which new schools open in southwest Edmonton in 2028?
The boards list a public K-6 and a public Grades 7-12 school in Glenridding Heights, and Catholic K-9 schools for Hays Ridge and Cavanagh, all expected in fall 2028.
Is a Catholic high school planned for Windermere?
Edmonton Catholic received planning funding in March 2026 for a high school near Rabbit Hill Road and 21 Avenue SW. No opening date was given.
Which high schools offer International Baccalaureate in the southwest?
Lillian Osborne and Harry Ainlay both list International Baccalaureate.
Does a school site on a neighbourhood plan mean a school is coming?
Not on its own. Only projects in a board's funded capital plan have money behind them.
Will new schools change attendance areas?
Usually. When a school opens, the board redraws designations for the neighbourhoods around it.
