- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Lantzville or within 3 km of it are here.
