Should a child moving to a new municipality change schools?

Verified 10 September 2026 - Public Service / (Prime Minister)

If your child is enrolled in kindergarten or elementary school and that you're moving, he can complete schooling in the same school.

For example, if your child started their school year in a small kindergarten section and you move during the year, they can stay in the same school until the end of the large kindergarten section. He will have to change schools for his return to CP (beginning of elementary school).

If your child started his school year in CP and you move during the year, he can stay in the same school until the end of his CM2.
