Ecole Citadelle

École Citadelle is the Francophone school located in our community. We are thrilled to be in our beautiful new building, bursting with natural light. Our school offers a unique educational experience, providing students with high-quality instruction in both French and English.

Established in 1991, École Citadelle has been providing an exceptional education to students for over 30 years. The school offers classes from preschool to grade 9. We have small class sizes and our dynamic and engaging personnel ensures that each child reaches their full potential.

École Citadelle has a strong focus on academic growth, and the school’s staff work diligently to provide students with an education that prepares them for a successful future. The curriculum is challenging, yet accessible, ensuring that students of all abilities can thrive. We offer speech therapy, small group instruction, early reading intervention, and various other supports.

In addition to academic excellence, École Citadelle also offers enrichment programs and extracurricular activities, including a science and technology focus, outdoor education, fine arts, and food studies in our state-of-the-art kitchen. The students have the opportunity to participate in a range of athletic activities, including cross-country running, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and track and field.

In particular, the school runs a learn-to-skate module for Kindergarten to grade 3 students and offers a hockey academy program for grades 4-9.
Students participating in the latter program have the opportunity to be on the ice 1-2 times per week with a qualified teacher to develop their hockey skills. We work with players new to hockey all the way up to the AAA level, providing each individual with skills and drills appropriate for their ability.

This development culminates in three to four exhibition games and tournaments per season against other area schools.

Overall, École Citadelle is an outstanding educational institution, providing students with a unique and high-quality experience. With a strong academic focus and a range of extracurricular activities, our school is certain to exceed the expectations of families seeking fluent bilingual education and rich cultural exposure for their children. If you feel like this experience might be right for your family, it would be our great pleasure to arrange a meeting and tour of the school, with pride.
