In [[Canada]], the terms "middle school" and "junior high school" are both used, depending on which grades the school caters to.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2004-08-29|title=MSN Encarta - Dictionary - junior high|url=http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_1861692773/junior_high.html|access-date=2023-02-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040829201750/http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_1861692773/junior_high.html |archive-date=2004-08-29 }}</ref> Junior high schools tend to include only grades 7, 8, and sometimes 9 (some older schools with the name 'carved in concrete' still use "Junior High" as part of their name, although grade nine is now missing), whereas middle schools are usually grades 6–8 or only grades 7–8 or 6–7 (i.e. around ages 11–14), varying from area to area and also according to population vs. building capacity.

Another common model is grades 5–8. [[Alberta]], [[Nova Scotia]], [[Newfoundland]], and [[Prince Edward Island]] junior high schools typically include grades 7–9, with the first year of high school traditionally being grade 10. In some places students go from elementary school to secondary school, meaning the elementary school covers to the end of grade 8.

In [[Ontario]], the terms "middle school" and "senior public school" (sometimes just grades 7 and 8) are used, with the latter being used particularly in the Old Toronto and Scarborough sections of [[Toronto]] plus in Mississauga, Brampton, and Kitchener-Waterloo. In many smaller Ontario cities and in some parts of larger cities,  most elementary schools serve junior kindergarten to grade 8 meaning there are no separate middle schools buildings, while in some cities (such as Hamilton) specific schools do serve the intermediate grades (i.e. grades 6–8 or grades 7–8) but are still called "elementary" or "public" schools with no recognition of the grades they serve in their name.

In the province of [[Quebec]], there is no middle school section; post-elementary grade 6, the secondary level has five grades, called Secondary I to Secondary V (grades 7 to 11).
