Francization<\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=”The best bilingualism possible” tab_id=”1501705042631-8d4b329f-1429″][vc_column_text]In each of its schools, CSCE also offers a francization program aiming to facilitate the integration of students. Thanks to this program, students will be able to acquire knowledge, oral skills, as well as a positive attitude when it comes to the French language, while developing a sense of belonging to the Francophone community. Enrolling your child in a Francophone school means that your child will speak fluently both official languages all his or her life. Your child will reach the highest level of bilingualism possible, which will enable him or her to have a promising career and invaluable opportunities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
