All parents who wish to explore the many benefits that a quality French language Catholic education can provide their children are cordially invited to attend, along with their families.
The Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario offers a full-time Kindergarten program in a motivating and caring environment. This proven program encourages children’s spiritual, affective, social, and cultural development. It also promotes the acquisition of the French language as well as the students’ academic success and cultural identity.
The benefits of attending a French Catholic school are many and include: full special needs programs, a quality English language program starting in grade 4 and ensuring sustainable bilingualism, a curriculum instilled with Catholic values, access to state-of-the-art technology, and an environment that nurtures and promotes a sense of Francophone culture and identity. CSCNO schools also attain superior academic results and its students graduate with a high level of bilingualism and a solid grasp of the French language.
Canadian citizens and landed immigrant families qualify for admission to CSCNO schools if they meet at least one of the following conditions:
- parent’s first language learned and still understood is French

- a brother or sister has received or is receiving primary or secondary school instruction in Canada in French (excluding French immersion).
The CSCNO further extends this eligibility for Catholic French-language education to children of Canadian citizens whose grandparents’ first language was French and who were entitled to French-language education, as well as to children born into immigrant families whose parents speak neither French nor English.
