Preferred term

denominational schools in canada  

Definition

  • Because the Dominion of Canada initially included separate areas with English-speaking and French-speaking majorities, constitutional legal protections were provided for denominational schools as a safeguard for minority-religion schools. Nearly 150 years later, such constitutionally protected schools continue to exist in three Canadian provinces. [Source: Encyclopedia of Education Law; Denominational Schools in Canada]
