Photo: P199 · CC BY-SA 4.0Saint-Philippe has 4 independent schools among its 20
Among them: Académie Marie-Laurier, Campus Candiac, Collège Jean de la Mennais - primaire and Collège Jean de la Mennais - secondaire. Of the 20, 2 teach in English (10% of schools in Quebec). Its 3 km reach takes in 15 elementary schools and 5 secondary schools, all of Saint-Philippe’s schooling. 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-Philippe
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.
Independent schools
Independent schools choose their students and charge fees, with part of their costs paid by the province when they qualify.
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.
