How children get a place in Prévost
Independent schools
Independent schools set their own admissions and fees; the province funds part of their costs where they meet its conditions.
English schools in Quebec
To attend an English public school, a child needs a certificate of eligibility from the ministry.
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives sets the school: each board draws a catchment around every one of its schools, and a child living inside it has a place there. Other schools take children from outside when they have room.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Prévost’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Boards and systems. The French service centre and the English board each cover the whole territory with their own schools.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025-26.
