How children get a place in Wildwood
The neighbourhood school
Each school serves a defined area. A place elsewhere is possible when that school has room.
French-language schools
A child qualifies for a French-language school when a parent’s first language is French or a parent went to French school in Canada; an admissions committee can admit others.
Independent schools
Fees and admissions are each independent school’s own; the province covers a share of costs for those that meet its rules.
Catholic schools
Here the Catholic schools form a funded separate system; non-Catholic families may apply where a board allows it.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- Which schools count. The area is Wildwood plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
