Among Bonnyville's many attractions is its strong educational base. From early childhood schooling to post-secondary training, the area offers many educational options to both its youth and adults.

Education With Diversity

The Northern Lights Public School System administers a wide list of schools throughout the Bonnyville area.

In addition to the public school district, Bonnyville also offers a strong Roman Catholic Separate School System. The Lakeland Catholic Separate School District also offers French Immersion and Francophone programs in addition to instruction in English.

Definite Advantages

The schools in Bonnyville are able to be more responsive to the best interests of their students. Both school systems offer not only a high level of academic studies, but also a wide range of technical studies.

The Northern Lights School Division offers a Tech Prep Value-Added Diploma in which students can supplement their academic studies with enhanced career guidance and the necessary technical skills and abilities to qualify for entrance into many college or technical training institutions. This program allows students to pursue one of three streams: technology studies, business studies, and human services.

A joint project between the two school districts is the Registered Apprentice Program which is offered to all high school students in Grades 10-12. This program allows students to choose from more than 70 trades and to finish their high school education with a first year apprenticeship in the trade of their choice.
