Preschool daycare is usually for kids under 4 years old. Next comes Junior Kindergarten (for children who turn 4 before Dec 31) and Kindergarten (for children who turn 5 before Dec 31)
Ministry of Education documents divide grades into two categories: Elementary (Grades 1-8) and Secondary (Grades 9-12, also called High School). Local variances exist in the division of grades (e.g. middle school).
While children must begin school if they are 6 years old on the first day of the school year, the cutoff is Dec 31st:
A 5-year-old may start Grade 1 if he/she will turn 6 by Dec 31st. Children typically start a grade if they will be the following age by Dec 31st:
