École secondaire Antoine-Brossard
Antoine-Brossard is the high school associated with many Brossard streets in the CSSMV’s 2026-2027 catchment indexes (for example, for the catchment areas of the Charles-Bruneau and De la Rose-des-Vents elementary schools). In other words, it’s often the “default” school for a Brossard student in the French network.
The school also offers special educational projects. The CSSMV admission policy for the 2024-2025 cohort included MédiaTIC, a soccer program and Sport au cube, with spots awarded based on criteria (motivation video, grades) and then by electronic draw. Programs and criteria may change from year to year: check the current policy on the CSSMV website. The Antoine-Brossard adult education centre (CÉA) is also part of the network.
École internationale Lucille-Teasdale
Located in sector S according to the City of Brossard, École internationale Lucille-Teasdale offers the Middle Years Programme (PEI). Under the CSSMV’s 2024-2025 admission policy, entry into Secondary 1 was based on the Grade 5 report card: a result of at least 75% in French and mathematics was required, and candidates were then ranked by a weighted score. There was no exam and no lottery for this program. Check the criteria for your child’s admission year, as they may be revised.
The English network
According to the Riverside School Board’s Programs and School Zones 2026-2027 document, Brossard is a priority zone for Centennial Regional High School, which offers, among others, a general program, a program for gifted students (science and math, liberal arts) and French second language options. The school is located in Longueuil. Access to the English public network requires eligibility for instruction in English, explained on Québec.ca’s Eligibility for instruction in English page.
Private schools in and around Brossard
Many Brossard families turn to the private sector. We only name schools whose location and level of instruction have been verified with the Fédération des établissements d’enseignement privés (FEEP, the federation of Quebec private schools):
- Académie Marie-Laurier (Brossard): non-subsidized private school, bilingual French-English, from preschool to high school. It also lists campuses in Longueuil and Candiac.
- Collège Durocher Saint-Lambert (Saint-Lambert): subsidized private high school, instruction in French.
- Collège Charles-Lemoyne, Longueuil–Saint-Lambert campus (Longueuil): subsidized private high school, instruction in French.
A subsidized private school receives government funding that lowers tuition; a non-subsidized school sets its fees without that support. Tuition, admission exams and open house dates vary: check directly with each school. We don’t publish rankings, because no list can replace a visit and your child’s opinion.
How to choose and when to start
The typical timeline
- Grade 5, fall: look for open houses at public schools with special programs and at private schools.
- Grade 5, end of year: the Grade 5 report card is often the basis for admission to special programs.
- Grade 6, fall and winter: submit admission applications and take exams or tests if applicable.
- Registration at the catchment-area school: even if you’re aiming for a special program, make sure your child is registered at their catchment-area high school, following the CSSMV procedure.
Criteria to consider
- Travel time and transportation: the catchment-area school generally comes with school transportation under the service centre’s rules; an out-of-catchment program may require another solution. See our page on buses in Brossard.
- The student’s profile: sports, arts, media, international program or regular track.
- Workload and balance with extracurricular activities.
- The total cost of private school: tuition, uniforms, transportation, supplies and activities.
For registration in the public network, Québec.ca specifies that high school registration goes through the school service centre, which sets the procedure. See the Public school registration page for the general rules.
