French education ... in Nova Scotia!

Welcome to the web site Éducation en français... en Nouvelle-Écosse!

How many doors offer life advantages for Acadian and Francophone children?
Every one of them!

During the week of March 5-9, 2012, all twenty (20) Nova Scotia’s Conseil scolaire acadien provincial (CSAP) schools will be holding open house events.

Come see how CSAP is recognized for its quality education with aims directly linked to leadership, winning practices and high expectations for all their students. Did you know that the success rates of their students in French, English and Mathematics increases year after year due to CSAP initiatives in literacy and numeracy? Did you know that on the international test PISA, CSAP students placed 3rd among the francophone schools in the minority francophone communities in Canada?  Did you know that CSAP students succeeded as well or even better in English Language Arts compared to students in the Anglophone school boards on the grade 9 provincial tests?

If you, your spouse or one of your grandparents is Acadian or Francophone, or that you answer to the other CSAP admission criteria, this is the perfect opportunity to offer your children cultural, social and economic life advantages. You may achieve this by sending your children to one of the Early Childhood francophone centres, the CSAP pre-school program (Grandir en français) , CSAP elementary or secondary schools, Université Sainte-Anne where they offer a French language post-secondary education at both the collegiate and university levels or one of the courses in Adult education.

It’s your heritage, so why not take advantage of it? Visit the school nearest you listed below to learn about offering a better life for your child. Call the school for an appointment if the date of the open house is not convenient for you.
