How children get a place in Sutton
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.
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 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
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. The French service centre and the English board each cover the whole territory with their own schools.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Sutton or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
