How children get a place in Orsainville
The neighbourhood school
Boards set boundaries for each school; living inside one guarantees a place there, and moving across one usually means a request.
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
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- The year. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- Which schools count. Inside Orsainville’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
