Yes. In Canada, the terms are used interchangeably. “Primary school” is more common in the UK and among some international families, while “elementary school” is the standard term in Ontario. At USCA Academy, our elementary school program covers Grades 1 to 8 under the full Ontario Curriculum, so whichever term your family uses, the grade structure and academic standards are the same.
Primary school students study core subjects including English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, French, Visual Arts, Music, Drama & Dance, Physical Education, and Computers & Tech. USCA Academy delivers all of these through small classes and hands-on, inquiry-based learning, so students build a strong academic foundation before moving into high school preparation.
Public primary school in Canada is government-funded and free for residents, while private primary schools charge annual tuition in exchange for smaller classes, more individualized attention, and additional programming.
