Schools

​Every child, including the world’s most disadvantaged, has the right to an education because it has the power to change lives. Education is free for all Canadian students in the public school system.
​
As a parent, you have a choice in where your child goes to school. There are many different schools offering a wide range of programs to meet your child's needs, abilities and interests.

Learn more about programming and curriculum and factors to consider when choosing a school.
