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.
The 3 schools in and around Igloolik
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Igloolik’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
