Understanding Schools in Waterloo Region

Waterloo Region is served by two English-language school boards — one public and one Catholic. Both operate across Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo, and both are well-regarded. Which school your child attends depends on your home address and your registration choice, not the school's physical proximity to your home. The map below shows school locations across the region. Use it alongside the official school finder tools to confirm which schools serve your specific address — boundaries are set by each board and can change over time.
WRDSB — Public Waterloo Region District School Board. 105 elementary schools and 16 secondary schools serving approx. 65,000 students across the region. Find Your School →
WCDSB — Catholic Waterloo Catholic District School Board. 48 elementary schools and 5 secondary schools serving approx. 40,000 students across the region. Find Your School →
School boundaries change periodically and do not always follow neighbourhood lines. Always verify your home school using the official board lookup tools above before making any decisions based on school proximity.
