Walkerville schools span all four Windsor-Essex boards — English public, English Catholic, and both French-language boards. Below is the verified breakdown, plus how to confirm catchment for any specific address.
Walkerville is a genuine family neighbourhood — walkable, green, community-minded, with parks and schools woven right into it. Here’s what you should know before you fall in love with a house.
School attendance boundaries depend on your exact address, and the boards review them every year. Use these official locators to confirm for any specific property — happy to help you check.
French-language schools admit eligible francophone rights-holder families region-wide and bus across Windsor-Essex, so they aren’t address-restricted.
The public high school is Walkerville Collegiate Institute — home to the Walkerville Centre for the Creative Arts (WCCA), an audition-based program in drama, dance, vocal and instrumental music, music theatre, and visual & media arts, plus Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) options. WCCA pulls students from across the region, not just the local catchment.
On the Catholic side, the area is served by Catholic Central High School at its new McDougall Street building (opened 2023).
French-language secondary: École secondaire de Lamothe-Cadillac (French public) and École secondaire catholique E.J. Lajeunesse (French Catholic).
Public elementary: King Edward Public School (in the historic Albert Kahn building) is the local anchor, with Prince Edward P.S. adjacent and Giles Campus French Immersion P.S. for single-track French Immersion.
Catholic: St. Anne French Immersion Catholic Elementary serves the area for Catholic French Immersion. The English-track Catholic elementary depends on your exact address — confirm with the board.
French-language: École élémentaire L’Envolée (French public). French-Catholic elementary students bus to nearby Windsor schools through Conseil scolaire catholique Providence.
Family life here isn’t just schools. It’s Willistead Park as a backyard, Art in the Park every year, walkable streets where kids can actually get around, and a tight community that turns out for its own events.
For a lot of families, that walkable, connected feel is exactly what they couldn’t find in a newer subdivision.
