Photo: Gabriel Picard · CC BY-SA 4.0Saint-Louis has 10 independent schools among its 44
École St-François, Collège mariste de Québec and Externat St-Jean-Berchmans are among them. Its schools answer to 3 boards. Taken together, Saint-Louis and its 3 km edge hold 25 elementary schools, 12 secondary schools and 7 schools for every grade. We don’t grade schools in Quebec. The reason: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.
Who runs Saint-Louis’s schools
Each level’s schools by system: the French service centres, the English boards, independent and other schools.
The split by system: French service centres 32, English boards 2 and independent 10.
The provincial school lists: each school’s board, language and Catholic or public status.

Schooling in English and French around Saint-Louis
The language each school teaches in, against every school in Quebec.
The mark on each bar is the share of schools in Quebec.
The 2 English-language schools are École primaire Sainte-Foy and École primaire de New Liverpool; Commission scolaire Central Québec runs the public ones.
Quebec’s Charter of the French Language sends most children to French-language schools; English public schooling is for children who hold a certificate of eligibility.
How children get a place in Saint-Louis
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives settles it: the board’s map ties every address to one school, and a seat anywhere else waits on spare room.
Independent schools
Admission to an independent school is by its own rules; fees apply, lowered by partial provincial funding.
English schools in Quebec
A certificate of eligibility opens the English public schools; most children qualify for French-language schools only.
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
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Saint-Louis and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
