The South Central Regional Francophone Coordinating Council No. 6 was created in 1994 by Alberta Ministry of Education, to allow francophones to move towards the management and control of education for and by francophones. The Council adopted as its mission to meet the educational needs of francophones and of those eligible, pursuing: an awareness campaign, directed toward all involved and toward targeted clients, regarding their constitutional rights and the services required for a French education for francophones; the marketing of available French education and its advantages; the recruitment of francophone and eligible students; negotiating with the school boards for the creation of required services, programs and schools; counselling the Minister of Education and all involved regarding any question or issue related to the French education for francophones and eligible students; performing the tasks, research, and inquiries recommended by the Minister of Education. This new structure became necessary after the Supreme Court's ruling in the 'Mahé case', in March 1990, regarding the education in the languages of the official minorities. The Supreme Court ruling forced the provinces to respect Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and establish a management structure that would allow the French and English minorities in Canada to manage and control their own schools according to their own needs. The first two francophone schools in Calgary started their activities in 1994, under the auspices of Calgary Catholic School Board, but were managed by the South Central Regional Francophone Coordinating Council No. 6.

Having as its mission to answer the educational needs of francophones and eligible students, the Coordinating Council managed francophone schools, recruited students and promoted education in French for the francophones and eligible students, and produced recommendations, studies, reports, and research for government.

The Coordinating Council ended its activities in 2000, when the new Greater Southern Public Francophone Education Region No. 4 Authority was established. This new body took over the management of francophone education in the regions previously covered by the South Central Regional Francophone Coordinating Council No. 6 and by the Southern Regional Francophone Coordinating Council No. 7.
