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 help their children attain a high level of bilingualism through learning en français while also acquiring a solid grasp of the English-language.
Over the years, CSC Nouvelon schools have been there for students and families by understanding their needs and providing continuous support. Today, newcomers want their children to learn in French and become bilingual while often speaking 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 over 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, CSC Nouvelon students benefit from tremendous culture sharing opportunities to enhance their cultural awareness, foster personal growth and promote a mutual understanding.
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 innovative and dedicated to ensuring all students develop the ability to read, write and understand French at an advanced level while also mastering the English-language. Upon graduation, students will be fluent in Canada’s official languages.
The benefits of attending a CSC Nouvelon school are incalculable. Our students can rely on a curriculum instilled with Catholic values, a quality English-language program starting in grade 4, access to state-of-the-art learning technology, a full special education program and an environment that nurtures and promotes a sense of Francophone culture, pride and identity. CSC Nouvelon schools also hold the highest graduation rate among all school boards in Northern Ontario. Additionally, Kindergarten to grade 12 students can count on school and after-school programming that is diversified, innovative and inclusive for all.
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.
Registrations in CSC Nouvelon elementary and secondary schools are ongoing.
