Abstract
The Canadian province of Alberta is a jurisdiction where religious pluralism is fostered within the public school system. This article is a case study of that phenomenon that briefly reviews the genesis, denouement, and resurrection of Protestant education in Alberta's public schools. Warranted by Alberta's 1988 “alternative school” legislation, many formerly independent Protestant schools have voluntarily merged with and thus come under the aegis of public school districts, while ostensibly maintaining their religious character and receiving financial benefits. However, this article suggests that there are latent issues regarding such mergers surrounding governance, administrative, and religious matters that may negatively impact the nature of the religious ethos of Protestant education in Alberta's public schools.
