What is school like in Canada?
Perhaps of more interest, schools can vary their curriculum significantly. For example, at
Most schools require their students to bring their own lunches from home, and those who live close enough to the school sometimes will walk home for lunch and come back to school for the afternoon session. A few schools do have a cafeteria, mostly at the high school level. There is no national school lunch or breakfast program for Canadian schools.
In addition to public schools, families also have available a number of charter and private schools. For example, certain areas of
Kindergarten is usually available at age four or five for one year prior to entrance into elementary school, which begins at age six . School systems usually include grades one through six or eight in elementary school, and some provinces include grades seven through eight or nine in middle school. Grades nine or ten through twelve attend high school, often also called secondary school. In smaller, rural communities, it is not uncommon for elementary school to include grades one through eight, with high school covering the remaining grades through twelve.
Each school has its own dress code. A few require particular school uniforms, and some religious-based schools may require a particular dress code based on the sponsoring religion of that school. For example, a particular school prohibit clothes that expose too much skin or undergarments, are gang-related, or are otherwise just not safe. Furthermore, given the cold temperatures in many parts of the country during the winter, students should dress appropriate to the weather conditions.
There is no national board of education in
Schools provide their students (and parents) a report card either three or four times a year, depending on the province. What the school actually teaches can vary widely between provinces.
