The education system in Canada

Published · 23.10.2020

Interested in education in Canada? Start by exploring its system, which is considered competitive with leading education systems worldwide.

“There is no single national education system: each of the ten provinces sets its own curriculum. Small differences therefore exist, including the grades at which particular school stages begin and end. A full school education takes twelve years, except in Quebec, where it takes eleven. Compulsory schooling ends between ages fifteen and eighteen, depending on the province.” Source: https://vancouverok.com/obrazovatelnaya-sistema-kanade.

The system has three stages: primary school, secondary school and higher education. Programmes are also available in English or French as a second language.
