How children get a place in Upton
English schools in Quebec
English public schooling in Quebec needs a certificate of eligibility, usually earned through a parent’s English elementary schooling in Canada; other children attend French schools.
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
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Upton and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
