Collegiate Open Houses

Want to get a feel for a collegiate before deciding where to go? Visit one or more of our open houses in February (schedule to be posted in January).

The Estey School open house typically takes place in spring. Please contact Estey School for more information.

Nutana Collegiate does not hold an open house as their grade 9 course offerings are specialized.

The division offers three unique programs specifically for Grade 9 students. Open houses are typically held for the following programs in February:

Off the Grid
Tommy Douglas Collegiate
Collective Voice
Aden Bowman Collegiate
