K-12 School Options:
Info on government-run and independent schools
What are your options when it comes to educating your child?
What are the questions you may want to ask a school before enrolling your child there?
SecondStreet.org created this site to help parents learn more about government-run and independent schools for their children (private schools, charter schools, homeschooling, etc.) and to answer some questions you may not have considered.
A Website Designed to Help Parents
This site was designed specifically to help parents learn more about accessing education in the public system and through private options in Canada.
You’ll find everything from the rules on choosing a public school outside your neighbourhood to academic performance reports and links to provincial curriculums. For example, did you know that in some provinces you can apply to enroll your child in any public school, as long as there is space?
The site also includes directories of private and independent schools, information on financial assistance and tax benefits, and resources for alternatives like homeschooling. Our goal is to empower you with the information you need to make confident decisions for your family.
