Free public education and tranportation
Conseil scolaire Viamonde is a public French-language school board that provides a unique Francophone experience to students in Ontario. The growing school board now consists of 41 elementary schools and 16 secondary schools. Thanks to its dedicated staff, state-of-the-art technology, caring and cultured environment, Viamonde ensures that students can develop their French language skills and cultural identity while also obtaining a first-class education.
Childcare in school setting & certified bilinguism
Most elementary schools host a community-based daycare centre that also provide reliable before and after school programs.
One of the key advantages of attending a French language school is the opportunity to learn in a fully francophone environment. By providing an environment in which students can learn and use French daily, Conseil scolaire Viamonde is helping to ensure that Francophone culture and language are preserved and passed on to future generations. By grade 12, students who graduate are officially bilingual and have access to a multitude of post-secondary programs at both French and English universities and colleges, in Canada and abroad.
Higher than average academic results
In addition to language skills, Conseil scolaire Viamonde also places a strong emphasis on academic excellence. They are committed to helping young people succeed and their students consistently score well above provincial averages in a huge array of subjects, including math and science, as their most recent results on the EQAO provincial tests show.
Excellence programmes starting in grade 7
Another benefit of attending one of Conseil scolaire Viamonde’s schools is the sense of community that it creates. By attending a French language school, students become part of a Francophone community in a majorly English-speaking province. The school board also offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including sports teams, music programs, and clubs, which help students to build friendships and develop their interests outside of the classroom. Viamonde is also proud of its unique selection of ‘Excellence Programs’ that allow students to discover and explore various fields as early as grade 7.
Inclusive, human-size and eco-friendly schools
Conseil scolaire Viamonde is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all students. The school board values diversity and recognizes the importance of providing education that is accessible to all. In addition, the board places an emphasis on small class sizes and personal attention. Most teachers know the first name of their students and contribute to creating a family atmosphere within the secular and inclusive schools. It is because of this close-knit atmosphere, and this VIP treatment, that they pride themselves on offering a first-class education.
