Public system in Burlington:

There are two main school boards: Halton District School Board and Halton Catholic District School Board. For both school boards, school registration and busing is based on geographical zoning.
Sometimes, you can change your school of attendance. Optional attendance (transferring schools) is the process where students can apply to attend a school other than the school designated for their area of residence. Students can apply to a school outside of their home school if there is enough space to accommodate them.
For more information, refer to Transfer Schools within the HDSB
Students who transfer to another school are not eligible for Board provided transportation.
