What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Les Cèdres and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- Boards and systems. Public schools here answer to a service centre (French) or a school board (English); private schools answer to their own boards.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
