According to Statistics Canada, about 75% of Quebecers across the country speak French and the proportion of the population that says they know French is even higher, reaching 94% (2021). Life happens in French in most environments in Quebec and French is the language of instruction.
The The French Convention provides that children must attend French schools until the end of their secondary studies in the public education network or in the subsidized private education network.
However, under special circumstances, pre-school, primary and secondary school students can attend a public or subsidized English language institution.
The Ministry processes applications for eligibility to teach in English.
The information in this section does not take the place of the legislative and regulatory provisions related to the right to education in English. We must refer to these in order to have a correct and complete knowledge of the requirements that must be respected in relation to the language of instruction.
It is possible for educational organizations in Quebec that provide pre-school education and primary and secondary education in English, as well as the services of the Department designated to examine applications for English education, to provide additional information.
