Private Schools Private schools exist in every province and provide an attractive alternative for families seeking an overseas education for their children. Many of Canada's business and political leaders are graduates of well-established private schools. All private schools must be registered with the Ministry of Education in their province or territory, and must meet the curriculum and other standards set by their respective ministries.
Some private schools offer full boarding programs, others are day schools, and many offer both.
Many private schools adhere to a particular religious faith, emphasize particular moral teachings and apply rigorous academic standards.
