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.
English schools in Quebec
Bill 101 limits English public schools to eligible children, mostly those with a parent schooled in English in Canada.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- The year. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- Boards and systems. Quebec organises public schools by language: service centres in French, school boards in English; private schools have neither.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Carleton-sur-Mer and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
