Ontario vs. Quebec grade levels

In looking for French resources for older grades you might come across books labelled as 1re secondaire, 2e secondaire, 3e secondaire, 4e secondaire and 5e secondaire. This can be a little confusing if you are not used to how Quebec labels their grades so I put a conversion chart below.
