B.C. leads Canada in private school enrollment, with over 13% of students now attending independent schools — up from under 9% over the past 25 years — as public school shares drop to 86.2%. While some see this as expanding parental choice, others highlight B.C.’s partial funding model and argue cutting support could cost more long-term. Across Canada, provinces like Alberta offer diverse public options, showing education’s evolving landscape.
