Primary and secondary education |
|
Education begins at the age of 5 with kindergarten (maternelle) and grades 1-6 as elementary school (école primaire). These are divided into Cycle I (premier cycle) for grades 1-2, Cycle II (deuxieme cycle) for grades 3-4 and Cycle III (troisieme cycle) for grades 5-6. Mandatory education begins at the age of 6, the kindergarten year is optional. Secondary school (école secondaire) is five years, called Secondary I-V (Sec I-V for short) or simply grades 7-11. Students are 12 to 17 years old. This is also divided into two "Cycles" corresponding to junior high school grades 7-8 and senior grades 9-11. High school students who complete Secondary V receive their high school diploma from the provincial government |

Language in schools |
|
Quebec has publicly funded French and English schools. According to the Charter of the French Language, all students must attend a French language school except: - children whose parents have done most of their elementary studies in English anywhere in Canada and the parents are Canadian citizens, - children who have already done all or most of their elementary or secondary studies in English anywhere in Canada, or who have a sibling who has received most of his or her education in English anywhere in Canada, as long as the parents are Canadian citizens |
|
Post-secondary education : CEGEP |
|
Most students continue to a general and professional education college (called CEGEP an acronym for the French Collège d' enseignement général et professionel) after high/secondary school. These students can specialize in a number of different vocational or pre-university fields. The term of study is two years for pre-university and three years for most vocational diplomas. Students completing college earn the Diplôme d'études collégiales, sometimes with other designations attached to this title. Like primary and secondary schools, both state-run (public) colleges and private colleges exist. |
