A note on catchments. Which school your child attends is set by the school board and confirmed by your specific home address, never by a website. Kinburn has no school in the village, so children are bused to nearby West Carleton schools, and rural boundaries can change. Treat the lists below as a starting point and use the official board locators before deciding. We’re glad to help you check.

Kinburn has no school in the village. Children attend West Carleton schools (Stonecrest, Woodlawn or Huntley Centennial for elementary, West Carleton SS in Dunrobin for high school), or St. Michael in Fitzroy Harbour for the Catholic board, with high school in Kanata. Because Kinburn is in Ottawa (not Renfrew County), Ottawa boards apply. Busing and boundaries change, so confirm current details by address. There is no IB program in the immediate area.

Family life
Beyond the classroom
Kinburn families have room to roam at home plus West Carleton’s rural amenities close by: the Kinburn Community Centre and park, Carp’s farmers’ market and the Diefenbunker, Fitzroy Provincial Park, and Constance Bay’s Ottawa River beaches. Kanata’s bigger amenities are a short drive via the 417.
