How children get a place in Hatley
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
English public schooling in Quebec needs a certificate of eligibility, usually earned through a parent’s English elementary schooling in Canada; other children attend French schools.
The neighbourhood school
Children go to the board’s designated school for their address, unless another school agrees to take them.
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. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Hatley or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Boards and systems. Quebec’s public schools come under French service centres or English school boards, by language since 1998; private schools stand apart.
- The year. The 2025-26 list.
