Bilingualism is an important asset in a global world. Evidently, parents want their child to benefit from a quality education that will enable them to stand out and succeed in life wherever their career may take them. Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon (CSC Nouvelon) schools such as École Notre-Dame-du-Sault take great pride in supporting all families in their efforts to see their children attain a high level of bilingualism. While learning en français and acquiring a solid grasp of the English-language, students are provided with the required learning tools and a quality education from Kindergarten to grade 12.
École Notre-Dame-du-Sault has supported Sault Ste. Marie families for many years. More than ever, newcomers also want their child 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 Cameroun, Nigeria, Colombia, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Venezuela, Great Britain, India, China and the United States. With peers from various African, Latin American, European, Asian and Middle Eastern countries, students can learn from tremendous culture sharing opportunities.
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. CSC Nouvelon students are fluent in Canada’s official languages upon graduation.
The benefits of attending a CSC Nouvelon school like École Notre-Dame-du-Sault are incalculable. In addition to learning completely in French, 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 along with an environment that nurtures and promotes a sense of Francophone culture, pride and identity. CSC Nouvelon schools also lead to superior academic results and 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.
Registration is ongoing for the 2024-2025 school year in CSC Nouvelon elementary and secondary schools.
