The provincial school lists: each school’s board, language and Catholic or public status.
How children get a place in Perth
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.
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
- Which schools count. Counted: Perth’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. The open list is ODEF (2019–22), which may still show schools since closed.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
