How children get a place in Saint-Anselme
The neighbourhood school
Ask the board first. It holds the enrolment list and points each street to its own school; out-of-area requests go ahead only with space to spare.
English schools in Quebec
Eligibility for English schooling comes from the family’s schooling history; without a certificate, a child goes to a French school.

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. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- The year. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- Boards and systems. The French service centre and the English board each cover the whole territory with their own schools.
- Which schools count. Inside Saint-Anselme’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
