The Canadian education system encompasses both publicly-funded and private schools, from kindergarten through to university. Education is a provincial responsibility under the Canadian constitution, which means there are significant differences between the education systems of the different provinces.

Education in Canada is divided into elementary, secondary and post-secondary education. Elementary school generally starts from Grade 1 to 8 and secondary education from Grade 9 to 12. The school year runs from September through the following June but in some instances, January intake dates are possible.
After completing the secondary education, students may attend university, college or Cegep studies.
