How children get a place in Lorne
The neighbourhood school
Ask the board first. It holds the enrolment list and points each street to its own school; out-of-area requests go ahead only with space to spare.
French-language schools
A child qualifies for a French-language school when a parent’s first language is French or a parent went to French school in Canada; an admissions committee can admit others.
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
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- Which schools count. Inside Lorne’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
