Getting a place
How children get a place in St. John's
French-language schools
The French boards take rights-holders’ children by right and others by committee.
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives sets the school: each board draws a catchment around every one of its schools, and a child living inside it has a place there. Other schools take children from outside when they have room.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Every school inside St. John's’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- The year. ODEF, from 2019–22, is the only open list: newer schools may be missing.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
