Choosing a francophone school
Whether you speak French or another language at home, choosing a Francophone school is the best way to develop your children’s bilingualism. Because we live in a Francophone minority setting, children are constantly exposed to the English language. Therefore, there are more opportunities for children to learn English than to learn French in their everyday lives.

Choosing a Francophone school helps our children achieve educational and professional success.
As the job market grows more and more competitive, bilingualism represents a major asset for everyone. Further, more and more jobs require competency in both official languages. Francophone schools present themselves as an essential choice.
Choosing a Francophone school will enable your children to develop their bilingualism as well as their Acadian and Francophone identity and culture. By exposing them to the French language in this way, you help keep the French language culture alive and vibrant in New Brunswick.

Under the Education Act of New Brunswick, every young learner in the province is entitled to French-language education if he or she meets at least one of the following criteria:
– The first language learned and still understood by one of the parents is French;
– One of the parents has received his or her primary school instruction in Canada in French;
– One of the parents’ children has received his or her primary school instruction in French in a Canadian school.
