What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. 2025-26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. Public schools here answer to a service centre (French) or a school board (English); private schools answer to their own boards.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- Which schools count. Inside Saint-Basile-le-Grand’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- 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.
