Bilingual School: our educational approach
Anchored in Catholic values, the centre of our environment completely focusing on personal enrichment and openness toward the world, our educational approach is based on two pivotal elements, i.e., a long-term educational plan, and the time allocated to each student.
In synergy with you
Our collaborative, inclusive and innovative approach, as well as the educational strategies that we apply, are tangible. With this in mind, our team always works in synergy with you in order to allow your child to fully benefit from everyone’s know-how and knowledge, so that he can fully develop as a person.
We believe each student can succeed in school, and in life. That’s why we encourage and support the continuing education of staff members so they can offer the best teaching strategies to support your child during his school years.
It is not by chance that our French-language Catholic schools obtain superior results in provincial tests! From early childhood to adulthood, school life is immersed in the French culture and the Catholic faith. All our programs conform to the Ontario curriculum.
In addition:
- Pastoral animationis an integral part of all aspects of school life. It offers the student the possibility of free participation in efforts inspired by the Gospel and designed to awaken faith, allowing it to be fully lived and deepened.
- Cultural animationfocuses on the student’s experiences in school and elsewhere so as to allow him to progressively build a personal, linguistic and cultural identity, and acquire a sense of belonging to the Franco-Ontarian community.
Identity Construction
Your child’s interactions occur in a totally francophone social environment where we place special emphasis on leadership development and Franco-Ontarian Catholic identity.
Continuity in actions and values, strong bilingualism, community support, including humanitarian and charitable work, and socio-cultural enrichment: these are all elements that we seek to reinforce in order to make your child an open-minded, well-rounded and compassionate person.
In addition, to promote the development of a deep cultural identity, we encourage your child to enrich his or her analytical skills by asking thoughtful questions and developing communication skills with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
Training and Personal Development
We want each of our schools to provide a unique opportunity for academic achievement through the development of our students’ bilingual communication skills (in French and English). Our personalized approach is designed to allow your child to fully develop spiritually, culturally, intellectually, socially, and physically.
Our French-language Catholic schools therefore offer a varied choice of extra-curricular activities for every interest: student council, improvisation, arts, sports teams, theatre, music, track and field and leadership training. Moreover, pastoral animation and cultural facilitation form an integral part of school life.
Participatory leadership, quality teaching, conditions for francophone cultural enrichment, partnership with parents, identity-building together with guidance, cooperative education and experiential learning programs: these are just a few examples of the ways in which we reinforce your child's sense of belonging to a dynamic and evolving French culture.
