How children get a place in Waswanipi
English schools in Quebec
Bill 101 limits English public schools to eligible children, mostly those with a parent schooled in English in Canada.
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. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Counted: Waswanipi’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- Boards and systems. Language, not faith, divides Quebec’s public schools: French service centres and English boards share the map.
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
