Teachers are both deaf and hearing. Alberta School for the Deaf is modeled on a bilingual-bicultural approach.[3] The total enrollment, including the elementary school, is 100 as of 2020–21. Students from across Alberta and the Northwest Territories attend the school.[1]
Deaf students from Canada often attend Gallaudet University in Washington D.C. for post-secondary programs.[citation needed]
