Administrative Units

Many schools in Nova Scotia have been consolidated into a single administrative unit. In the searchable version of the Directory, schools are displayed in alphabetical order, and are identified as belonging to an administrative unit where necessary. Refer to the administrative unit record for information on those schools. In the PDF version of the Directory, consolidated schools are shown with an '*' indented under the single administrative unit.
