Schools and Education
Bonnyville is part of Northern Lights School Division No. 69 and Lakeland Catholic School District, both of which offer a range of educational programs for families with children. From early learning to high school, Bonnyville provides quality public and Catholic education options.
- Public Schools: The Northern Lights School Division offers a strong curriculum focused on academic excellence, sports, and extracurricular activities. Bonnyville Centralized High School is the primary high school in the area, while elementary and middle school options like Duclos School and H.E. Bourgoin School offer well-rounded programs for younger students.
- Catholic Schools: The Lakeland Catholic School District provides options for faith-based education, including Notre Dame High School and École Dr. Bernard Brosseau School. These schools offer smaller class sizes and a focus on academic achievement, arts, and faith-based learning.
- Post-Secondary Education and Training: While Bonnyville itself doesn’t have a major university, the nearby city of Cold Lake is home to Portage College, which offers a variety of programs in trades, business, health, and technology. The college’s outreach programs also bring training opportunities to Bonnyville, making it convenient for those looking to advance their careers or gain new skills.
- Alternative and Specialty Schools: The school districts offer programs for students with unique learning needs, including French immersion, Indigenous programming, and specialized support services. For families seeking educational flexibility, homeschooling resources and online learning programs are also available.
