How children get a place in Hudson
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
Where a family lives settles it: the board’s map ties every address to one school, and a seat anywhere else waits on spare room.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Hudson’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Quebec organises public schools by language: service centres in French, school boards in English; private schools have neither.
