Admission criteria

Open Admission to Secondary Schools

In secondary schools, students of all faiths are eligible.

What many people do not know is that the Education Act states that admission to Ontario's secondary schools is open to all. French-language Catholic secondary schools are highly sought after by families of all faiths who value the rigour offered by a Catholic education. Csc MonAvenir secondary schools welcome applications from students of all faiths. They are welcome in a respectful and open environment from grade 7 to grade 12.

Persons entitled to have their children educated in French at the secondary level in Ontario ("eligible persons") meet one of the following criteria

  • Canadian citizens residing in Ontario whose first language learned and still understood is French; OR
  • Canadian citizens residing in Ontario who received their elementary education in French, either here or elsewhere in Canada; OR
  • Canadian citizens who have a child who has received or is receiving elementary or secondary school instruction in French, here or elsewhere in Canada.

If none of the parents meet any of the three conditions listed above, an admissions committee will determine if the child is eligible.

The ability of the parents and the child to communicate in French is a primary criterion considered by the Admissions Committee.

Students enrolled in French Immersion schools may apply for enrollment at any level.

The board may admit into its schools children of parents who do not meet the criteria or who do not qualify as rights holders under section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. An admissions committee will receive the application from the parents and will meet with them and their children for the purpose of making a recommendation to the Csc MonAvenir. The Csc MonAvenir takes into consideration the well-being of the child as well as the mission of the school. The meeting will help determine, for instance:

  • if the child’s proficiency in French will enable the child to integrate satisfactorily into a French-language school;
  • if the parents’ language proficiency is appropriate to support the child’s learning at the French-language school;
  • the level of French usage in the home;
  • the strategies being considered to support the child’s learning.

The board will give special consideration to the following:

  • families whose grandparents are section 23 rights holders, to enable them to regain the right they lost for socio-historical reasons;
  • francophile families who have shown an interest in and commitment to the French language even if it is not their first language (by taking French courses or registering their child for French-language daycare, for example);
  • francophone newcomers, who must go through the admissions committee process for admission because they do not hold Canadian citizenship. For these families, the procedure is accelerated. The assessment of the language proficiency and school performance of these children will make it possible to offer them the resources they need to progress at the level of their oral communication and/or academic performance if, for a number of reasons, their studies or their learning of French have held them back.

The ability of the parents and child to communicate in French is a primary criterion considered by the Admissions Committee. Here are some examples of cases that may be considered for admission through an Admissions Committee:

  • First generation Francophone families who are new to Canada and/or whose members are not Canadian citizens;
  • Francophile families (where French is a second language) who have demonstrated an interest in the French language, for example, by enrolling their child in a French daycare or French Immersion program
  • Families with a French-speaking grandparent

For all admissions, the Board has the following expectations

  • a commitment by parents to the mandate of our schools
  • a demonstration of support for our school system;
  • an understanding of the ideal: the ability to communicate, to learn and to be culturally affirmed;
