Elevate ambition

MIDDLE SCHOOL (GRADE 6 TO 9)

Bilingual & bicultural mastery

Bilingual & bicultural mastery

In the Elevate years, bilingualism becomes more sophisticated and intentional. Students:

  • study literature, grammar, and writing in both English and French,
  • expand vocabulary and cultural references,
  • learn to switch linguistic registers depending on context,
  • develop the ability to analyse, argue, and create in both languages.

Native French-speaking teachers and expert English instructors ensure linguistic richness and precision.

By the end of the Elevate program, students have built a bilingual and bicultural foundation that is rare in North America, and extremely valuable for future academic pathways.

    A strong, comprehensive English program

    Alongside the depth of the French curriculum, students benefit from a robust English program designed to meet, and often exceed, Canadian expectations.


    English is taught by experienced, native-speaking instructors who focus on reading comprehension, structured writing, vocabulary development, and critical analysis.
    As students move through Middle School, they study a wide range of literary genres and nonfiction texts, learn to write with clarity and precision, and develop the discussion and presentation skills expected in North American academic settings.


    This balanced bilingual journey, French rigor combined with strong English language instruction, gives students a versatile academic profile and prepares them confidently for English-speaking high schools, universities, and global careers.

    Spanish: Building Strong Foundations

    Beginning in Grade 6, students start learning Spanish as a second foreign language.

    Throughout middle school, students progressively develop their skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing while discovering the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. This early exposure provides a strong linguistic and cultural foundation that prepares students to continue their Spanish studies in high school.
