Getting a place
How children get a place in Newton
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.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Newton and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of Alberta’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the two PAT measures; suppressed groups would make places misleading.
- Boards and systems. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
