Getting a place
How children get a place in Woodlands
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives settles it: the board’s map ties every address to one school, and a seat anywhere else waits on spare room.
Independent schools
Independent schools set their own admissions and fees; the province funds part of their costs where they meet its conditions.
Catholic schools
Separate boards admit by their own policies, most giving priority to Catholic families.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Woodlands or within 3 km of it are here.
