Education is a key priority in New Brunswick and is provided free of charge to children from kindergarten to grade 12 by two school authorities, one that is English and one that is French. While each school has its own culture, the program of studies offered is standard, as required by the New Brunswick Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. You can discover each school’s extracurricular activities on their website, and this list will vary depending on the size of the school as well as the availability of volunteers. Children with physical or mental disabilities will be assessed and provided with the necessary accommodations at school. We want to make sure every child has the chance to learn and grow.
