The Schools of Choice initiative facilitates parental/student choice, within limits, in selecting the public school best suited to the student’s learning requirements.

The School of Choice initiative does not apply to students who attend a school other than their designated school, because the recognized program of study they wish to access is not offered by the school division of which they are a resident.
Parents must apply to potential receiving schools no later than May 15 by completing, signing and submitting one of the following application forms for admission to a school of choice:

Within Division

If a student wishes to attend a school other than the designated school within the same school division, please fill out, sign and submit three copies of a School of Choice Within Division application form to the potential "receiving" school no later than May 15.

Forms filled out online will automatically print the required number of copies. Please sign all copies. Forms are also available at the receiving school division & school administration offices.

Out of Division

If a student wishes to attend a school in a school division/district other than the home school division, please fill out, sign and submit four copies of a School of Choice Out-of-Division application form to the potential “receiving” school no later than May 15.

Forms filled out online will automatically print the required number of copies. Please sign all copies. The application form is also available at the receiving school division/school administration office.

Please note: There are deadlines for the submission and approval of School of Choice application forms. A complete summary of responsibilities and obligations of parents, students and schools as they relate to Schools of Choice
is located on the
Manitoba Government Education and Advanced Learning website.
