What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Saint-Mathias-sur-Richelieu and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
