The Palliser School Division was created in 1995 through the consolidation of two parent school boards which represented the majority of the Vulcan County and the entirety of the Lethbridge County. Palliser serves about 8,400 students in 15 community schools; 11 faith-based alternative schools, ten of which are in Calgary on nine separate campuses; two alternative programs for Low German-speaking Mennonite families; five outreach programs; 17 Hutterian colony schools; a home-schooling program and an online and international program. Palliser offers a broad range of programming from early learning programs (formerly known as preschools) through Grade 12. Some early learning and kindergarten programs at some sites may be operated by Palliser’s private partners.
