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. Minimum Age ONTARIO QUEBEC 4 yrs Primary Junior Kindergarten Primary N/A 5 yrs Primary Kindergarten Primary Maternelle 6 yrs Primary Grade 1 Primary 1ère année 7 yrs Primary Grade 2 Primary 2e année 8 yrs Primary Grade 3 Primary 3e année 9 yrs Primary Grade 4 Primary 4e année 10 yrs Primary Grade 5 Primary 5e année 11 yrs Primary Grade 6 Primary 6e année 12 yrs Intermediate Grade 7 Secondary 1re secondaire 13 yrs Intermediate Grade 8 Secondary 2e secondaire 14 yrs High School Grade 9 Secondary 3e secondaire 15 yrs High School Grade 10 Secondary 4e secondaire 16 yrs High School Grade 11 Secondary 5e secondaire 17 yrs High School Grade 12 Pre-college
