How children get a place in Devon
Independent schools
Admission to an independent school is by its own rules; fees apply, lowered by partial provincial funding.
Catholic schools
Here the Catholic schools form a funded separate system; non-Catholic families may apply where a board allows it.
The neighbourhood school
Each board draws attendance areas: a child’s home address gives a designated school in each system. Families register with the board, and a school outside the area takes a child only if it has room.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- Which schools count. The area is Devon plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
