- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2024-25.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Chapman Mills or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
