Going to school in New Brunswick and the Maritimes
Schools in Canada's Maritimes Region are part of a rich academic tradition that predates the Canadian Confederation. The oldest boarding school in Canada, King's-Edgehill School, was founded by United Empire Loyalists in 1788. This and the other schools in the region rightly cherish the historical tradition that they represent.
High school graduation requirements in New Brunswick are set by the department of education, not the federal government. To earn a New Brunswick high school graduation diploma students are required to complete 20 credits, with a minimum of 5 of those credits earned at the grade 12 level. Each credit represents the successful completion of a course of study. There are compulsory course requirements in English, history, math, science, fine arts, and life role development.
