Getting a place at St Elizabeth Seton Catholic 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.
Ontario’s Catholic boards are publicly funded. Their elementary schools generally ask that a parent or the child be Catholic; their high schools are open to all students.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.
