Photo: Ross Dunn · CC BY-SA 2.0Du Parc has 21 English-language schools among its 46
They are École Pierre Elliott Trudeau, St George Elementary School and Urban Aboriginal Alternate High School, run by Commission scolaire Western Québec, Ottawa CSB and Ottawa-Carleton DSB. English and French, public and Catholic boards all run schools here. The 3 km around Du Parc counts 30 elementary schools, 7 secondary schools, 6 schools for every grade and 3 alternative or adult schools. We don’t grade schools in Quebec. The reason: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.

Schooling in English and French around Du Parc
English, French and other languages of instruction, beside the mix in Quebec.
The mark on each bar is the share of schools in Quebec.
By name, in English: École Pierre Elliott Trudeau, St George Elementary School, Urban Aboriginal Alternate High School and Devonshire Community Public School (Commission scolaire Western Québec, Ottawa CSB and Ottawa-Carleton DSB).
Quebec’s Charter of the French Language sends most children to French-language schools; English public schooling is for children who hold a certificate of eligibility.
The 6 boards that run schools here
Every board or service centre with a school in the area, and its schools.
Ontario funds four systems side by side, and here all four overlap: a family picks English or French, public or Catholic, and each choice has its own board and its own schools.

How children get a place in Du Parc
The neighbourhood school
No application round, no lottery: the address fixes the school, and the board handles the paperwork.
English schools in Quebec
Under the Charter of the French Language, a child goes to an English public school only with a certificate of eligibility, generally because a parent did most of elementary school in English in Canada. Everyone else attends French-language schools.
Independent schools
Independent schools set their own admissions and fees; the province funds part of their costs where they meet its conditions.
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
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Du Parc and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
