Bilingualism is an important asset in a global world. More than ever, parents want their children to benefit from a quality education which will enable them to stand out and succeed in all aspects of life. Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon (CSC Nouvelon) schools take great pride in supporting families in their efforts to see their children attain a high level of bilingualism through learning en français and acquiring a solid grasp of the English-language.
Over the years, CSC Nouvelon schools have supported their students and families by understanding their needs.
Today, newcomers want their children to learn in French and become bilingual while often mastering a third or fourth language. With the growing number of families from various countries choosing to live, work and study in Northern Ontario, CSC Nouvelon schools are proud to welcome children from some 40 countries and diverse cultures in their classrooms. Students come from countries such as Ivory Coast, Colombia, Cameroun, Nigeria, Mexico, Venezuela, Great Britain, China and the United States. With peers from various African, Latin American, European, Asian and Middle Eastern countries, students benefit from tremendous culture sharing opportunities and learn from many cultures around the world.
A high level of bilingualism is a wonderful gift for a child’s future, opening doors to careers in Canada and beyond. Exciting opportunities are often out of reach for persons speaking only one language. French-language Catholic schools can help your child excel and learn en français. CSC Nouvelon’s teaching staff is dedicated to ensuring all students develop the ability to read, write and understand French at an advanced level while also mastering English. Students will be fluent in Canada’s official languages upon graduation.
The benefits of attending a CSC Nouvelon school are incalculable. Our students can rely on a full special needs program, a quality English-language program starting in grade 4, a curriculum instilled with Catholic values, access to state-of-the-art learning technology and an environment that nurtures and promotes a sense of Francophone culture, pride and identity. CSC Nouvelon schools also foster superior academic results and hold the highest graduation rate among all school boards in Northern Ontario.
Our schools welcome children of Canadian citizens or immigrants whose first language learned and still understood is French as well as children of Canadian citizens whose grandparents’ first language was French. Even if you do not speak French, your child may have a right to French-language education. Children from immigrant families where the parents speak neither French nor English are also eligible.
From January 16 to 22, grade 8 students and their families will have the opportunity to tour CSC Nouvelon secondary schools during high school open house events. Additionally, elementary schools will be hosting Kindergarten registrations from January 22 to 26.
