Abstract:
Characteristics of private schools in Canada and the USA are compared using NCES Private School
Universe Survey data, previously unavailable Canadian data, and selected survey results from PISA
2015. Differences are noted between curriculum levels, average enrollments, religious orientations and
school autonomy. Five Canadian provinces offer direct funding to private schools whereas various US
states channel funds to private schools through voucher or similar schemes. While the proportion of
students attending private schools in Canada has been increasing, the growth of charter schools in the
US appears to have contributed to a decline in US private school enrollments.
