Schools in Halifax NS
Hi,
My family and I are in the process of apply for PR and I am starting to look at schools for my kids who will be 14 & 13 when we move. I cant seem to find any grading system which tells me how good the schools are, something like the OFSTED system we have in the UK. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: Schools in Halifax NS
When you arrive, you'll be allocated a school based on where you live. You get very little say in which school your child will go to.

Thanks for the replies, as we are able to choose where we live I was hoping someone would have an idea where I could find info on the individual schools performance.

Re: Schools in Halifax NS
You could take a look at this one, if you feel that it would help, but the majority of schools are much of a muchness.

You may want to look at the D of E for NS to ascertain the boundaries for each school board. http://www.ednet.ns.ca/contact/schools.shtml

You have looked at Canada? You realize its economy is based on resource extraction and management. Education is not a top priority. They don't worry about school performance here.
