Parents across Canada are increasingly choosing independent schools over government schools for their children, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.

Released on April 26, the study says the share of K-12 students enrolled at independent schools across the country increased in every province over a 19-year span, while the share of those enrolled in government schools declined.
