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. Schools inside Wemindji and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- The year. 2025-26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. The French service centre and the English board each cover the whole territory with their own schools.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
