The administration of Red Deer Public School offers many programs to ensure the development and prosperity of every student, as the knowledge and skills that students acquire on the school level constitutes the foundation for their future success. Let’s look closer at some of the educational programs offered by Red Deer Public Schools. 

French Immersion programs both early and late are becoming extremely popular among students whose native language isn’t French. During the French Immersion course students are taught all the subjects solely in the French language to be fully surrounded by the language. The program begins in the kindergarten and goes on during the whole study period in school. The Late program is devised for students, who decided to dive deeper into the French Language in the grade six. This one also lasts till the end of the high school, but can be attended only in the Central Middle School. The program allows students whose native language is any but French to achieve comprehension in the French language and become a bi-lingual speaker which is important for every person who wants to connect their life with Canada. Mathematics, Science, Social Studies are studied in French only on the Late French Immersion program, while all the other subjects are taught in the English language. Regardless of what the main language of instruction a student chooses, the curriculum stays the same. 

Red Deer Public Schools is not only about French immersion, but also Spanish. One of the Red Deer Public Schools which is Vista Grande offers a bilingual Spanish program also beginning from the kindergarten and lasting till the very eighth grade. There is also a bi-lingual program on the preschool level, where children communicate with each other and with teachers in both languages: Spanish and English. The globalization and rapidly developing world demand from the students to be literate in more than one language and Red Deer Public Schools perfectly understand this fact. 

One of the Red Deer Public Schools provides education through the prism of Christian culture.

A student with mental disorders, such as anxiety or depression can participate in education without the need to come to school, which can have an aggravating effect on their conditions. On the other hand, there is a lot of responsibility laying on the shoulders of the students themselves and their parents. The parents should always keep their eye on their children, checking their progress and staying in touch with their teachers. Anyways, whatever your choice is Red Deer Public Schools is ready to offer you both: the conventional offline program and home education program.
