Education
Providing access to education and training
opportunities is essential in creating a well-prepared workforce
and strong communities. South east Alberta’s schools, college,
other education institutions and have a lot to offer newcomers in
lifelong learning.
Foremost is part of the Prairie Rose School Division #8, headquartered in Dunmore, Alberta.
Foremost School provides education for Grades K to 12 and has an enrollment of approximately 280 students. Foremost School has recently been awarded with an Overall Excellence Award from The Fraser Insitute for non-select schools. The pupil-teacher ratio is very low and as a result the school can offer a number of special programs such as a Fine Arts Program, a computer program beginning in grade 4, French beginning in grade 7, and a Work Experience Program for high school students. In addition, there is a well planned intra-mural and extra-curricular sports program.
Further Education opportunities are available through the County
