To register for junior kindergarten, the student must be 4 years old or older on December 31st of the current school year.

Home address

The student must reside in the school attendance zone.

Religion

To register in an elementary school, the student must meet one of the following criteria:

  • One of the parents or legal guardians is a taxpayer contributing to the French-language Catholic education system of Ontario; or
  • One of the parents or legal guardians was baptised under the Catholic Church or one of the religious traditions it recognises.

Any student can be registered to one of our high schools, as long as the fact that it provides a French Catholic education is recognized. It is also expected that the student will participate in the school's pastoral activities as well as the religion-related courses required to obtain the Ontario high school diploma.

  • Parent, Canadian citizen, who received an elementary education in French in Canada; or

That being said, Ontario's Education Law specifies that any parent or legal guardian can submit a registration application. It is a simple process including a meeting between members of the school's administration and the family.
