Your Path to a Better School in Quebec
Specialized preparation for school transfer (placement) exams across Quebec — covering both French and English school systems, from Kindergarten through Sec 4. Built on years of admissions expertise and a record families trust.
WHY IT MATTERS
Switching Schools Is a Decision That Shapes Years Ahead
Whether you’re a newly arrived family in Quebec, a child outgrowing their current school, or a family aiming for a stronger academic environment, a school transfer is rarely just a logistical move — it’s an academic reset that can redirect a child’s entire trajectory.
But every Quebec school sets its own placement exam, with its own pace, content, and selection criteria. Schools also weigh transcripts, average scores, and the reputation of the previous school. Generic preparation isn’t enough — what makes the difference is school-specific, system-aware, expert-guided prep.
KEY TIMING TO KNOW
In Quebec, most primary and secondary schools hold placement exams between September–October and February–May. Registration typically opens in early September or January of the previous school year. Some schools maintain waiting lists, with offers issued only when spots open up.Early preparation is essential — not optional.
French Schools or English Schools
— We Prepare You for Both
Quebec’s two parallel school systems each have their own admissions cultures, exam styles, and entry requirements. We have deep, hands-on experience with both — and help families choose the right fit, not just the easier path.
French School Transfers
Whether moving between francophone schools or transitioning into the French system, our preparation aligns with Quebec’s francophone curriculum and the placement priorities of leading French private and selective public schools.
English School Transfers
English-language private and public schools have their own admissions standards. We support families navigating English school transfers with English-language exam prep, transcript guidance, and school-specific application coaching.
Three Core Subjects, Targeted Preparation
Our curriculum focuses on the three subjects that matter most for placement exams — taught with materials that match the difficulty level of the actual transfer tests at each target school.
French
Français — Compréhension et expression
Closely aligned with each school’s placement test style. Combines reading and writing skill-building with question-type training specific to transfer exams.
Math Logic
Mathématiques & Logique
Beyond standard curriculum — calibrated to each child’s level with progressive difficulty. Strong focus on application questions, response idea generation, and logical reasoning.
English
English for placement testing

What No Other Tutoring Service Can Offer
Transfer admissions prep demands deep, specific knowledge of each school’s process — knowledge our team has built over years of working directly within Quebec’s education system.
Teachers Who Set the Exams
Our instructors include educators who have written and graded placement exams for top Quebec schools. They don’t guess at what’s tested — they know it firsthand.
Years of Deep Specialization
Our team has spent years inside Quebec’s admissions system, watching question patterns evolve and tracking every change in what schools look for. This is what we do — every day.
Massive Proprietary Question Bank
Years of compiling, analyzing, and curating real placement test questions from dozens of schools. Students train on the exact question types they’ll face — not generic textbook problems.
Diagnostic & Feedback System
Regular assessments map each student’s level across all three subjects. Detailed targeted feedback shows exactly where to focus — no wasted hours, no blind drilling.
Annual Question Predictions
Every year, we publish predicted question types for each major school’s exam — based on close analysis of recent papers and direct insight into examiner patterns. Students walk in prepared, not surprised.
Post-Exam School Selection Advice
Once results come in, we help families navigate offers and waiting lists — advising on which school best fits each student’s strengths, learning style, and long-term goals. Our work doesn’t end at the exam.
The Results Speak for Themselves
Year after year, our students earn admission to multiple top schools — backed by a system we’ve refined over more than a decade of dedicated work in Quebec’s school admissions landscape.

Group Classes
Structured weekly group sessions and intensive holiday camps — taught in small groups, organized by subject and proficiency level rather than school grade alone.
