How children get a place in Wendake
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives sets the school: each board draws a catchment around every one of its schools, and a child living inside it has a place there. Other schools take children from outside when they have room.
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.

What this data can and can’t tell you

- Boards and systems. Public schools here answer to a service centre (French) or a school board (English); private schools answer to their own boards.
- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Wendake’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
