How children get a place in Vanier
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
An independent school decides whom it takes and what it charges; provincial grants cover part of the cost.
English schools in Quebec
A certificate of eligibility opens the English public schools; most children qualify for French-language schools only.

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. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Boards and systems. French-language public schools belong to service centres (centres de services scolaires), English ones to school boards; private schools run themselves.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Vanier and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
