Photo: Guerinf · CC0Saint-Lin--Laurentides’s schools come under 3 different boards
Centre de services scolaire des Samares has 9 of them, and Commission scolaire Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier and Centre de services scolaire des Affluents share the others. One of the 11 teaches in English, against 10% of schools in Quebec. Its 3 km reach takes in 9 elementary schools and 2 secondary schools, all of Saint-Lin--Laurentides’s schooling. No schools grade in Quebec: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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 Saint-Lin--Laurentides and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- 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. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
