A note on catchments. Which school your child attends is set by each board and confirmed by your specific home address, never by a website. Treat the lists below as a starting point, use the official board locators further down before making any decision, and we’re glad to help you check.

Schools in Renfrew

Public: Renfrew County DSB

  • Central PS (K–6, French Immersion)
  • Queen Elizabeth PS (K–6)
  • Renfrew Collegiate Institute (7–12)

Catholic: Renfrew County Catholic DSB

  • Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School
  • St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School (new, 2025)
  • St. Joseph’s Catholic High School (9–12)
Local quirk worth knowing: Renfrew’s public elementary schools run to Grade 6, then students move to Renfrew Collegiate for Grades 7–12. There is no French-language school in Renfrew itself. The nearest French public and French Catholic options require busing (see the locators).

Family life

Beyond the classroom

Renfrew families have Ma-te-Way Park (arena and trails), the Renfrew Public Library, riverside parks along the Bonnechere, and one of Canada’s longest-running agricultural fairs each fall. It’s small-town community at its best.
