The majority of schools in Milton are divided between the Halton District School Board and the Halton Catholic District School Board. Outside of these boards, there is a single French language Catholic school in the Conseil Scolaire Mon Avenir, École Élémentaire St. Nico- las. In addition, there are several private schools that service Milton with a wide variety of programs and specialties. The Halton District School Board operates 16 elementary schools and 2 secondary schools in Milton. Due to certain elementary schools offering Kindergarten to Grade 5 programming (instead of Kindergarten to Grade 8), the schools populations can range from 275 to up- wards of 1200 students. Both secondary schools are attended by over 1000 students. In the Catholic Board, elementary schools are separated into two ‘ families ’ depending on which secondary school they feed into. All 10 Catholic elementary schools in Milton bring students from Kindergarten all the way to Grade 8. After finishing the elementary program, students can either attend Bishop Reding or Jean Vanier Secondary School for Grades 9 to 12. While there are no full - scale post - secondary institutions in Milton yet, Wilfrid Laurier Uni- versity is aiming to have a campus in Milton in the future. Currently, the nearest available campuses are Sheridan College in Oakville and McMaster University in Hamilton.
