The Public School Board
A Public Board is a locally elected body that has the responsibility for the operation and governance of public schools within its boundaries. As the governing authority, each Board must comply with all legislation related to public education, including the Education Act of Alberta and regulations set by the Minister of Education. Each Board is required to develop and implement policies that reflect the unique needs and interests of its community. In addition, Boards are responsible for hiring school administrators and teachers, as well as maintaining school facilities.
In Edmonton, there are 227 public schools managed by The Edmonton School Division and The Pembina Hills School Division boards.

The Separate (Catholic) school board
Separate school boards are administered by Catholic organizations, and they offer Catholic education to students. In addition to the regular Alberta curriculum, separate schools also teach religious education classes. For many parents, choosing a separate school board is a way to ensure that their children receive a well-rounded education that includes religious instruction. However, it is important to note that students of all faiths are welcome at separate schools, and non-Catholic students do not have to participate in religious education classes if they do not wish to do so.
In Edmonton, there are 105 Separate (Catholic) schools managed by The Edmonton Catholic Separate School Division, The East Central Alberta Catholic Separate School Division and The Christ the Redeemer Catholic Separate School Division.

The Charter School Board
In Alberta, charter schools are public schools that have been given a degree of autonomy to allow them to innovate and experiment with new educational approaches. Their main purpose is to improve student learning by providing a different educational environment. Charter school boards cannot be associated with any religious faith. Charter school boards are responsible for overseeing the operation of these schools and ensuring that they meet the standards set out in their charter.
Charter school boards are typically composed of parents, teachers, and community members who are passionate about education. They work together to set the direction for the school and make decisions about staffing, budgeting, and curriculum. Charter school boards play an important role in ensuring that charter schools are successful in meeting the needs of their students.
There are 5 schools under the Charter board managed by three different authorities: Aurora School Ltd., Boyle Street Education Centre and Suzuki Charter School Society.
