St. Paul’s School is located in St. Paul’s River, QC (which is a small village on the Lower North Shore). Presently, we have sixty-four students, from Secondary I to Secondary V, enrolled in our school. These students come from five villages. Some live in St. Paul’s River, while others are bussed here (which can be tricky during the winter months).Our students take part in a variety of academic and extra-curricular activities. Many play on sports teams, participate in a regional public speaking competition, and participate in the Commonwealth Forum. Here at St. Paul’s School, we try to offer different and varied activities in the hopes that our students will have a dynamic and well-rounded high school experience.
