Facts, Figures and
Reports on Canadian Private Schools |
- Canada has about 1,700 private and independent schools, with about 280,000 students. One out of every 18 children in Canada, or 5.6 per cent, attended
a private elementary or secondary school in 1998-99. The enrolment level remains in the same range.
- The proportion of children who come from households with an annual income of $50,000 to $100,000 was about the same in both private and public schools
— 45 per cent — in 1998-99.
- All private schools must register with the government education ministry or department in their province or territory, but this doesn’t necessarily mean
schools are formally inspected.
- Private secondary schools granting credits must have their curriculum assessed by the provincial education authorities.
