What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. French-language public schools belong to service centres (centres de services scolaires), English ones to school boards; private schools run themselves.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Pointe-de-Sainte-Foy and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
