Registering your child for school for the first time is an exciting milestone, and we look forward to welcoming them to one of our amazing CBE school!
At NLC, we offer a full-day kindergarten program for First Nation, Métis, and Inuit students. Students attending Niitsitapi Learning Centre are transported to and from the school from all quadrants of Calgary.
