Private Schools

Private schools are less common in Canada than in other countries and they are largely religious, language or culturally based institutions with a unique approach to teaching.

Private schools offer both elementary and secondary level education and often require students to wear uniforms.  In general, private schools are not funded or are only partially funded by the government and students must pay tuition fees. The Ontario Ministry of Education has an up-to-date list of private schools in Ontario.
