Centre de services scolaire des Découvreurs leads with 25 schools, alongside Centre de services scolaire des Navigateurs and Centre de services scolaire de la Capitale. None of them teaches in English, though 10% of schools in Quebec do. Its 3 km reach takes in 20 elementary schools, 10 secondary schools and 1 school for every grade, all of Cap-Rouge’s schooling. The schools grade is left out in Quebec, as the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.

How children get a place in Cap-Rouge
Independent schools
An independent school decides whom it takes and what it charges; provincial grants cover part of the cost.
English schools in Quebec
Under the Charter of the French Language, a child goes to an English public school only with a certificate of eligibility, generally because a parent did most of elementary school in English in Canada. Everyone else attends French-language schools.
The neighbourhood school
Families enrol through the board, which assigns the school serving their street; transfers depend on space.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Which schools count. The area is Cap-Rouge plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- 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. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Boards and systems. Language, not faith, divides Quebec’s public schools: French service centres and English boards share the map.
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
