Photo: Louise Montgrain · CC BY 3.0Lorraine’s schools come under 3 different boards
The largest is Centre de services scolaire des Mille-Îles, with 15; beside it are Centre de services scolaire de Laval and Commission scolaire Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier. 2 of the 26 teach in English, against 10% of schools in Quebec. Counting a 3 km margin, Lorraine has 19 elementary schools, 6 secondary schools and 1 school for every grade. We don’t grade schools in Quebec. The reason: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.

How children get a place in Lorraine
The neighbourhood school
Families enrol through the board, which assigns the school serving their street; transfers depend on space.
Independent schools
Independent schools here charge fees but receive some provincial funding if they meet its standards.
English schools in Quebec
To attend an English public school, a child needs a certificate of eligibility from the ministry.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Quebec organises public schools by language: service centres in French, school boards in English; private schools have neither.
- The year. The 2025-26 list.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Lorraine or within 3 km of it are here.
