The English Montreal School Board (EMSB) proudly celebrates its continued dominance as Quebec’s leader in graduation success, surpassing both the public and private sectors. According to the latest data from the Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec, the EMSB achieved an impressive 93.2 percent graduation rate for the 2023–2024 academic year, solidifying its position as the top-performing school board in the province.
This remarkable achievement outpaces the provincial average of 82.4 percent, which includes public schools at 79.8 percent and private institutions at 92.5 percent. The EMSB’s consistent ability to exceed the private sector’s performance underscores the strength and quality of public education within its network. While the 2023–2024 rate reflects a minor adjustment from the previous year’s 95.9 percent, the EMSB remains unmatched in delivering exceptional outcomes for its students.
“Our students have once again proven that public education can outperform even the most elite private institutions,” said EMSB Chair Joe Ortona. “Despite financial challenges, our dedicated team of educators delivers unparalleled results. As open house season approaches, we invite parents to discover why an EMSB school is the best choice for their child’s future. Our unwavering focus on student success sets us apart as Québec’s gold standard in education.”
EMSB Director General Nick Katalifos added: “Once again everyone on our team rose to the occasion. The results stem from a collective effort—our teachers, in-school administrators, support staff, and professionals from all of the departments at the Board.”
EMSB Director of Educational Services Anna Sanalitro praised the teaching staff’s transformative impact. “Good teachers ignite curiosity,” she said. “They don’t just provide answers—they provoke thought. They ask powerful questions, connect material to real-world issues, and inspire students to think critically and independently. In doing so, they teach students how to learn, not just what to learn.”
With a youth and adult sector population of more than 35,000 students, the English Montreal School Board (EMSB) is the largest English public school board in Québec. Established on July 1, 1998, following the province’s creation of linguistic school boards, the EMSB network comprises 73 schools and centres. For more information, visit www.emsb.qc.ca.
