An increasing share of Canadian students are enrolled in independent schools. This is the first blog post in a three-part blog series exploring enrolment of K-12 students in Canada. This post details enrolment trends in independent schools.
Between 2006/07 to 2019/20, the earliest and most recent years of available data for all school types, the national average enrolment in independent schools (as a proportion of total K-12 student enrolment) increased from 6.7 per cent to 7.6 per cent. This share also increased slightly from the previous school year (2018/19), from 7.5 per cent to 7.6 per cent of total enrolment.
