How children get a place in Vieux-Bourg
The neighbourhood school
Each board draws attendance areas: a child’s home address gives a designated school in each system. Families register with the board, and a school outside the area takes a child only if it has room.
English schools in Quebec
To attend an English public school, a child needs a certificate of eligibility from the ministry.
Independent schools
Independent schools set their own admissions and fees; the province funds part of their costs where they meet its conditions.
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
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- The year. 2025-26, the latest open 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 Vieux-Bourg’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
