Schooling in Canada

When you are moving to Canada with school or university age children, like most Indians, your top priority will be to get them into good if not the best educational institutions.

Every region of Canada has different school boards. Each board is in charge of a number of schools in the district and control the syllabus, teaching staff and anything to do with the students in those schools.

Some of the board sites are:

http://www.cdnsba.org/ This is the Canadian School board association

http://www.peel.edu.on.ca/ This is the Peel board for schools in Brampton, Mississauga and Caledon

http://www.vsb.bc.ca/ This is the Vancouver school board site

http://www.tdsb.on.ca/ This is the Toronto school board site

http://www.ucdsb.on.ca/ This is the Upper Canada school board website

http://www.yrdsb.edu.on.ca/ This is the York region school board

For information on rating of the schools:

www.fraserinstitute.org This institute rates schools and will give you an idea of where the top schools are. Don't forget, only the schools that have been in existence for at least five years only will be on the list. Also, a school that has a ranking of 200 may still be one of the top schools considering the number of schools in the region.

Hope this is of some help to you!
Here are some websites that will help you with the different types of schools and admissions processes.

http://www.studycanada.ca/ gives you information on higher studies and institutions.
