John Paul II Collegiate is the newest addition to Christ the Redeemer's family of schools. With the tremendous growth of Catholic education in Okotoks and the building of the new Holy Trinity Academy, the opportunity arose to fulfill the dream of a dedicated Junior High School. John Paul II Collegiate serves students from Grade 7 through Grade 9 and has a student population of just under 700 students.

The staff of John Paul II Collegiate is an amazing group of people dedicated to the success of each and every student in our learning community. By providing the best in instructional methodology and a warm, caring environment, we are confident that every student will leave our school having had an enriching and powerful experience. Our motto: Ex Eodum fonte fides et scientia / "From the same font, faith and knowledge" expresses our mission to develop in our students not only academic success, but a strong faith as well.

In an effort to provide the highest quality educational experience to our students we offer several wonderful learning opportunities. John Paul II Collegiate offers a growing Late French Immersion program, a tremendous Learning Support program, and a full slate of option courses that will challenge our students and allow them to develop a variety of skills and talents.

As much of the educational experience takes place outside the classroom, John Paul II Collegiate also offers a wide variety of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. Students will have great opportunities to take part in various sports and clubs. Again, our mission is to provide our students with as many learning experiences as possible.
The staff at John Paul II Collegiate is focused on continual growth and professional development.  We are currently dedicated to a three-year AISI project exploring Differentiated Assessment.  The project will develop our teacher’s awareness regarding current educational research in the area of assessment and differentiation.  We are focusing on developing a myriad of ways to collect evidence of learning that allows students to highlight their strengths and support their growth in areas of need.  Our staff has also been working hard on creating and improving our Pyramid of Interventions which is a multi-layered approach to ensuring that every student is having their academic, social and spiritual needs met.  We love talking about these initiatives, so if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact the school.

Please feel free to contact us or drop in for a tour of our school. Please contact us at (403) 938-4600 if you have any questions. Our school is located at 53 Cimarron Dr. in Okotoks. Inquiries can be directed to the Principal of John Paul II Collegiate, Mr. Michael Kilcommons.
