Before you use this list

A school appearing here does not mean it has an agreement with us, and it does not endorse us. International students are placed in public schools by the Nova Scotia International Student Program or the school board, and not every school listed takes them. Private schools admit students themselves. Each school sets its own fees and deadlines, so check the details with the school or the school board.

We built this list from public sources, last checked October 28, 2026. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
