Though most of the jurisdictions offer one-year of public pre-primary education, there are some exceptions.

When it comes to jurisdictions that offer just one year of pre-schooling, parents can send their children to a private school where children will be prepared for the elementary school that starts at the age of 6.

The teachers at the high junior school are considered to be the experts in the subjects they teach and must obtain single-subject certificates that indicate the expertise.

The main aim of the junior high school is to prepare students for the next level – high school and postsecondary education. Most of the subjects are similar to primary school but the difficulty increases substantially. Also, there are some new subjects in the curriculum, such as foreign language instruction. Except for Quebec where the second language is usually English, students start to learn French or Spanish languages.

High school education starts when students successfully complete the 8th grade. High school program consists of 4 years and involves students from the age of 14-15 to 17-18.
