What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Quebec organises public schools by language: service centres in French, school boards in English; private schools have neither.
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Saint-Michel-des-Saints or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
