How children get a place in Sainte-Élisabeth
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. The page takes in schools within Sainte-Élisabeth and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
