Public School System

In Prince Edward Island the public school system comprises grades 1-12. For program planning purposes, grades 1-6 are the elementary grades, 7-9 are the intermediate grades, and 10-12 the senior high grades. The program is taught in schools which are organized within the Western School Board, the Eastern School District and La Commission Scolaire de Langue Française.

A full school program is available for both English language and French language education. The schools of La Commission Scolaire de Langue Française operate in the French language. Second language courses are available in all schools, with instruction beginning not later than grade four. Early French Immersion and late French Immersion programs are available in some English language schools.
