How children get a place in Granby
The neighbourhood school
Families enrol through the board, which assigns the school serving their street; transfers depend on space.
Independent schools
Independent schools set their own admissions and fees; the province funds part of their costs where they meet its conditions.
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.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
- The year. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. Inside Granby’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
