  • Encouraging Each Individual to Reahc Their Full Potential: In order to maximize the academic and individual potential of each student, we want to promote authentic learning in significant contexts, characterized by a wide variety of school and extracurricular experiences; we also believe that the taking of controlled risks enables each to student to grow in a positive way, especially in a safe environment where the teaching staff and parents accompany the student who faces challenges; our school promotes a teaching approach that transcends age groups, one that is focused non the learner, inclusive, differentiated when needed, sensitive to different levels of intelligence and the day-to-day reality of the students; we aim to achieve the development of an overall literacy (all of the language arts) in the future citizens that we are raising.
  • The Link Between School and Community: We believe that the education of a child is a partnership between the parents, the school, the community and the child itself; we want to ensure that the shool is a welcoming milieu for the entire community and we support the commitment of parents and the community towards the learning of their children, as we strive to instill in our students a respect towards this cooperation and a sense of belonging and contribution to their community.
  • The Building of an Identity for Young Francophones: Conscious of the heritage, the history and of the present situation of Francophones in the Châteaguay region, the school wants its children to appreciate, take matters in their own hands and be committed as concerns their contemporary francophone identity; this identity relates to a bilingual and multicultural environment; we believe that students and their parents must be aware and equipped to face the challenges of life in a French-speaking Manitoba; we also want to enable the students to identify with the Francophone ethos at the provincial, national and international levels.
