Our daughter (14 yrs) wants to brush up her French and would like to spend half a school year in Quebec. She was accepted to the best school in Montreal but due to a change of rules by the Montreal school board a few weeks ago, she can only do it if she is in school as of September, i.e. at the begining of the school year. As she cannot start at the begining of the school year, i.e. September, she is not allowed to visit a public English school there!!!
The option that has been offered by the exchange company with whom we are working is to go to Quebec City. Most of what I have read says that QC has no English public schools for people other than Canadians from English speaking parts of the country - we are from Germany!!
Does anyone know of English public schools in QC of good repute? Is there somewhere where I could get more information on them and see their rankings?
This is for all of the secondary schools, you can use it to evaluate each school you find out about individually. There's been some controversy about the Fraser institute's methodology in ranking the schools, however.

I don't understand.
The admission rules are the same for English public schools in Quebec City and Montreal, so if she was OK to go to a public English school in Montreal she should be fine to go to a public English school in Quebec City or anywhere in the province of Quebec.
So I do not see the difference between the situation in the two cities - the law applies the same way in both places.

I'm really not sure how she got any 'ok' from an english public school since that is illegal.
Of course, the ministry being under a Liberal government may allow others to go to English schools, while a PQ ministry may only allow what I said above.

No, when I went to English public school in Quebec there were numerous kids form non-English speaking countries who had special permission because their parents worked for a foreign company Quebec wanted in the province or had diplomatic connections. They actually give them out pretty liberally in their sweet heart deals to encourage companies to come here.
No, the requirement is just that one of your parents has to have received the majority of their education in English, in Canada. The child doesn't have to be Canadian born, nor Quebec born, and the parent can be from anywhere in Canada.
