How children get a place in Saint-Fabien
English schools in Quebec
Under the Charter of the French Language, a child goes to an English public school only with a certificate of eligibility, generally because a parent did most of elementary school in English in Canada. Everyone else attends French-language schools.
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.
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
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Saint-Fabien or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
