Photo: Germain Beauchamp · Public domain3 school boards share Laval-Ouest
Most belong to Centre de services scolaire des Mille-Îles (13); Centre de services scolaire de Laval and Commission scolaire Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier run the remainder. Schooling in English is on offer at 3 of 28; in Quebec, 10% of schools teach in it. Counting a 3 km margin, Laval-Ouest has 21 elementary schools, 3 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.

How children get a place in Laval-Ouest
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.
Independent schools
An independent school decides whom it takes and what it charges; provincial grants cover part of the cost.
The neighbourhood school
Attendance zones do the sorting here. Inside the zone a child is in; outside it, the answer turns on how full the school is.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Laval-Ouest’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025-26.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
