Smallest average enrolment per grade

Private schools ranked by smallest average cohort

Below, find a list of private schools ranked by lowest average enrollment per grade. This can be helpful in several different contexts. Families with children who have social anxiety may find this pertinent. Other parents might feel that a school with smaller class cohorts will manage discipline better. Other advantages include a more close-knit social environment, and less competition for athletics, allowing for more school participation. (Note that this is different from small class sizes since schools can have multiple classes per grade level.) 

This is, of course, only one factor among many when it comes to this critical family decision. There are advantages to schools with large average enrollment per grade. We urge you to consult other tools that can help you make the most informed decision, notably our school comparison, as well as our comprehensive and growing advice guide.

OUR KIDS has profiled private education in Canada for over 20 years, and we offer a great depth of information. Our look at the education system in Canada, the benefits of private school, and our many school type hubs are just a few examples of thousands of pages of relevant content that can help parents make the best decision for their children. Please look beyond simplistic (albeit helpful) metrics like those presented below.
