The French advantage

A French education is an investment in your child’s future. It provides not only a strong academic foundation but also access to greater opportunities in a bilingual and multicultural world. By learning in French, your child gains the skills and confidence to thrive in any environment, opening doors to a future without limits.

A truly immersive French environment

French public schools offer a genuinely immersive experience, unlike so-called “French Immersion” programs. In our schools, students live and learn entirely in French, both inside and outside the classroom, fostering true bilingualism. It’s not just about learning a second language—it’s about thinking, thriving, and building a future in French.

Gift your child a bilingual future

Our students thrive in a fully French environment while gaining a strong command of English, taught from elementary school through Grade 12. With rigorous English courses, on par with those in English-language schools, we equip students to excel in a truly bilingual world.

"They accepted our anglicized family allowing us to expand our children’s horizons and reclaim our cultural heritage."
Joanna Flynn, mother

Conseil scolaire du Grand Nord recognizes that in some cases, the French-language school is an obvious choice for the well-being and academic success of the student. CS Grand Nord may admit to its schools, children of parents or guardians who do not meet the conditions for attendance at a French-language school under Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, through an Accelerated Admissions Committee or an Admissions Committee in the following cases.

A student from a French-speaking immigrant background whose parent or guardian and child speak French, but are not rightful claimants. In most cases, these are French-speaking people from a country where French is one of the official languages.

A student whose grandparents have rights-holder status, and whose parent, guardian or child speaks French, but is not a rights-holder.

A student whose parent or guardian and child speak French, but are not rights holders under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
