St. Carlo Acutis Catholic High School

An Open House for St. Carlo Acutis will be held in early 2026.

In addition to offering a full range of academic programming, St. Carlo Acutis will feature two exciting opportunities for students:

Advanced Placement (AP) Program

• The Advanced Placement program is designed to provide motivated High School students with post-secondary level academic courses.
• Students will earn credits, advanced placement, or both for university and college courses.
• Learn more about the Advanced Placement program by watching this video.

Hockey Academy

• Hockey Academies provide superior athletic instruction for student-athletes whose educational experience would be enhanced with hockey-specific training.
• Students will experience on and off-ice training, team building, and improve and develop the physical, mental, and tactical demands of the sport.
• Hockey Academies help create leaders both on and off the ice.

St. Carlo Acutis Catholic High School will serve students who live between St. Albert Trail and 97 Street, from Yellowhead Trail to just north of Anthony Henday Drive. This is the school’s attendance area, meaning families living within these boundaries are assigned to attend this high school.

Students currently enrolled at Archbishop O’Leary or St. Joseph Catholic High School will not be required to transfer to St. Carlo Acutis when it opens.

The junior high feeder schools for St. Carlo Acutis will be:

• St. Edmund Catholic Elementary/Junior High School
• Sir John Thompson Catholic Junior High School

St. Carlo Acutis was a young Catholic from Italy. He was devout in his faith, an amateur computer enthusiast, known for his focus on the Eucharist, and for creating a website of Eucharistic miracles before his death in 2006. Permitted to receive his first Holy Communion unusually early, Carlo spent much of his time working with the elderly, homeless, and young people, becoming a catechist at just 11 years old. Diagnosed with Leukemia at age 15, Carlo died shortly after, “offering up his suffering for the Pope and the Church.” 

He was beatified in 2020 and canonized as a saint in September 2025, becoming the first millennial saint in the Catholic Church.

His Feast Day is October 12. St. Carlo Acutis is the patron of computer programmers, youth, and World Youth Day 2023.
