LIVING IN CANADA

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL

The education system in Canada is under Provincial jurisdiction. Broadly speaking, the Canadian educational system is divided into four (4) parts.

• Primary School: Kindergarten to Grade 8.
• Secondary School: Grade 9 to Grade 12.
• Colleges: Specializing in trade education and some professional qualifications.
• Universities: Degree granting institutions for undergraduate to graduate degrees, and some professional qualifications.

Each Province will have its own slightly different variation on this general description.
