How children get a place in Edmundston
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives settles it: the board’s map ties every address to one school, and a seat anywhere else waits on spare room.
French-language schools
Eligibility comes from the parents: French as a first language, or French schooling in Canada; otherwise, the board’s admissions committee decides.
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. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- The year. This province’s list is ODEF, compiled by Statistics Canada in 2019–22: a few years old.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- 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. The page takes in schools within Edmundston and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
