French-language Catholic education provides students with an inclusive environment that promotes lasting bilingualism. It helps to develop the competence to communicate in French and to develop a feeling of belonging to the Catholic faith. This is an unparalleled opportunity to be part of a vibrant culture.

The mandate of the Council is to plan, organize and offer structured situations that promote the learning of the French language and the construction of the French-speaking Catholic identity. 

School age

For enrollment in kindergarten, the student must be 4 years old as of December 31 of the current school year.

Place of residence

The student must reside in the area attended by the school.

Religion

In order to be admitted to one of our elementary schools, the student must meet one of the following criteria:

• One of the parents or tutors is a taxpayer in French-language Catholic schools in Ontario; or
• The student or one of the parents, guardians or tutors has been baptized in the Catholic Church or in one of the religious traditions whose baptism the Catholic Church recognizes, either:
  • Assyrian Apostolic Church
  • Eastern Churches (Coptic, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Syriac, Malankare, Armenian Apostolic)
  • Orthodox churches (Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, Russian, Georgian,
  • Serbian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Cypriot, Greek, Albanian, Polish, Czech, Slovak)
  • Anglican Church
  • Protestant Reformed Churches - PLURA (Lutheran, Presbyterian, United Church of Canada)

The pupil is expected to participate in the pastoral activities of the school as well as in the religious education course.

Language

According to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, you have the right to enroll your child in a French-language school if you are either:

• a parent, a Canadian citizen, whose first language learned and still understood is French;
• a parent, a Canadian citizen, who received his primary education in a French-language school in Canada; OR
• a parent, a Canadian citizen, whose child has received or is receiving his or her primary or secondary education in a French-language school.

However, the Ontario Education Act allows any parent or guardian to apply for admission. It is a simple process, which takes place through a meeting between members of the administration and the family.

If you have the following documents on hand, please bring them with you when registering:

• Certificate of birth, baptism or adoption of the pupil;
• Copy of his health card and his immunization record;
• Proof of Canadian citizenship or landed immigrant status or other valid legal status, if applicable;
• Proof of residence (statement of a gas, electricity or telephone account, etc.);
• Recent school documentation, such as a report card, if the student is from another school;
• Other documents that you think are relevant, such as a court order or a custody judgment.

We will also ask you to fill out a request formallocation of school taxes.
