Every school here answers to Centre de services scolaire des Grandes-Seigneuries. We don’t grade schools in Quebec. The reason: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.

How children get a place in Saint-Mathieu
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
Boards set boundaries for each school; living inside one guarantees a place there, and moving across one usually means a request.
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
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. The area is Saint-Mathieu plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- 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.
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
- The year. The 2025-26 list.
