Inside the town there are 13; another 24 sit within 3 km. Of the 37, 2 teach in English (10% of schools in Quebec). Because the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school, towns in Quebec aren’t graded on schools.

How children get a place in Sainte-Thérèse
Independent schools
Admission to an independent school is by its own rules; fees apply, lowered by partial provincial funding.
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 school serves a defined area. A place elsewhere is possible when that school 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. A school counts when it sits inside Sainte-Thérèse or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- The year. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- Boards and systems. Language, not faith, divides Quebec’s public schools: French service centres and English boards share the map.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
