Objectives of Collège Churchill

Our French Immersion school:

1. Offers a program parallel to that offered by English program schools and develops the same skills and competencies as those programs.
2. Develops functional bilingualism for students whose first language is English by:
   1. providing listening, speaking, reading and writing in French and English
   2. developing an understanding of the Franco-Canadian culture while respecting the students’ own cultural heritages.

Collège Churchill is on a mission to develop bilingual students, aware of the multi-cultural Canadian reality and conscious of the challenges of an ever-changing, global village. We wish to foster an environment of excellence, involvement and cooperation where each individual gains the confidence necessary to develop his/her own potential while acquiring a high degree of bilingual competence.

Therefore, we believe that students:

• should develop the required abilities to function properly in Canada’s two official languages;
• should be conscious of world issues;
• should strive for excellence both in and out of the school environment;
• along with staff, should fully engage themselves in school projects and objectives;
• should feel comfortable and secure within the school;
• should develop their abilities,

. . . and that the school:

• must offer activities that contribute to proper physical development;
• must organize activities which will encourage social and linguistic development;
• must offer programs which will encourage and foster academic and aesthetic development;
• must offer quality teaching that encourages intellectual growth;
• must provide models, establish rules and create an atmosphere which supports moral development.
