Getting a place
How children get a place in Vancouver
French-language schools
French-language boards admit the children of rights-holders under section 23 of the Charter (a parent whose first language is French, or who was schooled in French in Canada), and may admit others through an admissions committee.
Independent schools
Admission to an independent school is by its own rules; fees apply, lowered by partial provincial funding.
The neighbourhood school
No application round, no lottery: the address fixes the school, and the board handles the paperwork.
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
- Which schools count. Every school inside Vancouver’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
