4 boards run the schools in and around Kahnawake
The largest is Centre de services scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys, with 25; beside it are Centre de services scolaire des Grandes-Seigneuries, Commission scolaire New Frontiers and Commission scolaire Lester-B.-Pearson. Schooling in English is on offer at 10 of 55; in Quebec, 10% of schools teach in it. Counting a 3 km margin, Kahnawake has 42 elementary schools, 9 secondary schools and 4 schools for every grade. The ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school, which leaves towns in Quebec without a schools grade.

Getting a place
How children get a place in Kahnawake
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.
Independent schools
Independent schools choose their students and charge fees, with part of their costs paid by the province when they qualify.
English schools in Quebec
Bill 101 limits English public schools to eligible children, mostly those with a parent schooled in English in Canada.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Quebec’s public schools come under French service centres or English school boards, by language since 1998; private schools stand apart.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Which schools count. The area is Kahnawake plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
