1. Can I register my child if no one in the family is French-speaking?
Yes. First and foremost, the Lycée is a bilingual school, and all teachers and staff are fluent in at least English and French. A significant percentage of the students registered at the Lycée come from Anglophone families who are seeking to weave a multicultural multilingual perspective into their children's education.

2. How can we help when no one at home speaks French?
First, there will be no homework before Grade One. The main objective of homework is to teach our students to be responsible and to organize their time. All homework assignments involve work completed in class, yet if the child experiences difficulty, the parent will encourage the child to explain this to the teacher the following day. Above all, it is the parent's role to provide an atmosphere conducive to home study. It is the supportive attitude of the parents, which ensures the success of the student, as well as the participation of the whole family in activities that reflect the French culture.

3. Is there anywhere to leave my child before and after school?
Before and after school Child Care Program is available from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. An Etude (study) Program is available after school for students from Grade One onwards. The Etude offers students an opportunity for assistance from supervising teachers.

4. What happens at lunchtime?
All children bring their own lunch. In the Maternelle, a teacher or an aid supervises the lunch. Manners and etiquette are addressed. From Grade One onwards, the children eat their lunch in the lunchroom. Again the mealtime is supervised by aides and by teachers.

5. Do the children go outside?
Yes. The Maternelle students have their own playground and go outside in the morning, after lunch and in the afternoon, unless it is very cold outside. There are usually four adults supervising the Maternelle students.
The students from Grade One onward also go outside to their own playground three times a day, unless it is too cold, in which case activities are organized in the gymnasium. Teachers also supervise the children during recess.

6. Do the teachers speak English to the children?
The teachers will always speak English if the student is having difficulty understanding or expressing him or herself. In the Maternelle, the amount of English spoken generally decreases as the school year progresses. Typically there is very little English spoken in the classroom after December.

7. Where do the teachers come from?
The Lycée teachers come from all parts of the globe. Lycée teachers reflect our school's commitment to providing students and their families with a multicultural experience.

8. What kind of French will the children learn?
The accent and expressions reflect the standard French language from France.

9. What options are open to students leaving the Lycée ?
Because of the educational standards at the Lycée, a student is able to integrate easily into other educational systems in Canada, France or elsewhere. The student will have the opportunity of entering either the French Baccalaureate or the International Baccalaureate.
