Centre de services scolaire des Premières-Seigneuries runs every one of them. No English-language school is among them; in Quebec, 10% of schools are. We don’t grade schools in Quebec. The reason: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.

How children get a place in Boischatel
The neighbourhood school
A home address sets the designated school in each board’s attendance area. Registration is with the board; a school outside the area admits only where there is space.
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.
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
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. 2025-26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. Language, not faith, divides Quebec’s public schools: French service centres and English boards share the map.
- Which schools count. Counted: Boischatel’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.
