How do I find out which school a house in Greater Saint John is zoned for?

Ask the district. Anglophone South School District and the District scolaire francophone Sud both have an address lookup (Which school do I attend?) that gives the school for a civic address. The nearest school on a map is often not the assigned one, especially where a neighbourhood splits its younger and older elementary grades between two buildings.

Can students choose their high school in Saint John?

In the Saint John Education Centre, yes: students request their preferred high school when they enter Grade 9, rather than being assigned one by zone. The four are Harbour View High School, Saint John High School, Simonds High School, St. Malachy's Memorial High School. Elsewhere in Anglophone South, high schools enrol by zone.

Which schools in Greater Saint John offer French Immersion?

33 of the public schools in Saint John, the Kennebecasis Valley, Grand Bay-Westfield, Hampton and the Kingston Peninsula list French Immersion alongside the English program, from elementary through high school. The district decides which immersion program serves which address.

When does French Immersion start?

Every child starts kindergarten in the English Prime program. Anglophone South has two ways into French Immersion: Grade 1, called early immersion, and Grade 6, called late immersion. Families of kindergarten and Grade 5 students are invited to an information session and register in the spring.

Are there French-language schools?

Yes, run by the District scolaire francophone Sud: Centre scolaire Samuel-de-Champlain in Saint John (grades K-12) and École des Pionniers in Quispamsis (grades K-5).
