InfoPEIHOME / MOVING TO PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND / PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES / Registering your Child for School How do I register my child for school?Parents are requested to register students who will be beginning school in September by telephone or in person at their respective elementary. Children who reach the age of six years on or before November of the year attending school are eligible. Students between the ages of seven and 16 must attend school. Students attend elementary school for Grades 1 through 6. Junior high schools educate students in Grades 7 through 9 while Island high schools offer education for students from Grades 10 through twelve. Almost all school-aged children in the province attend one of the 65 English language or five French language public schools. Approximately one per cent of children in the province attend one of the four privately operated schools. Parents also have the option of home schooling their children. Prince Edward Island's public schools are operated by three elected school boards and are funded by the provincial government. As specified in the School Act [PDF File], school boards provide for instruction, management of personnel, facilities and the transportation of students. To determine which schools your child can attend, visit the Address Locator and by supplying your civic address you can determine which family of schools are available for your neighborhood. To register your child at one of these schools, contact the school directly. Contact Stratford Abram's Village Elmsdale Western School Board - Elmsdale Summerside | ||||||
