How children get a place in Beaconsfield
English schools in Quebec
Eligibility for English schooling comes from the family’s schooling history; without a certificate, a child goes to a French school.
Independent schools
Independent schools here charge fees but receive some provincial funding if they meet its standards.
The neighbourhood school
Each board draws attendance areas: a child’s home address gives a designated school in each system. Families register with the board, and a school outside the area takes a child only if it has 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
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Beaconsfield’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- Boards and systems. The French service centre and the English board each cover the whole territory with their own schools.
- The year. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
