How children get a place in Saint-Émile
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.
English schools in Quebec
To attend an English public school, a child needs a certificate of eligibility from the ministry.
Independent schools
Fees and admissions are each independent school’s own; the province covers a share of costs for those that meet its rules.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- The year. 2025-26, the latest open list.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Saint-Émile’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
