Before you use these lists
The lists are for information. A school on these lists does not have an agreement with us, and it does not endorse us. School names belong to their owners. International students are placed in public schools by the Nova Scotia International Student Program or the school board; universities, colleges and private schools admit students themselves. Each school sets its own fees and deadlines, so always check the details with the school.
Where the lists come from
We built these lists from public sources, last checked October 28, 2026. Schools open, close and change names. If you spot a mistake, tell us and we will fix it.

Looking for daycare?
Daycares are not in these lists, because they change often. Search the province's Directory of Licensed Child Care Facilities instead. It is run by the province and shows each facility's licence.
