What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Sainte-Catherine or within 3 km of it are here.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- 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. The French service centre and the English board each cover the whole territory with their own schools.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025-26.
