How children get a place in Saint-Raphaël
English schools in Quebec
Eligibility for English schooling comes from the family’s schooling history; without a certificate, a child goes to a French school.
The neighbourhood school
Each board draws attendance areas: a child’s home address gives a designated school in each system. Families register with the board, and a school outside the area takes a child only if it has room.
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
- Which schools count. Inside Saint-Raphaël’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Quebec’s public schools come under French service centres or English school boards, by language since 1998; private schools stand apart.
