General Information

École Holy Cross offers a unique academic learning environment as a single-track French Immersion school. With the exception of Religion and English Language Arts, all subjects are taught in French.  English Language Arts instruction begins in Grade 2. As partners with you and your child, we establish an environment conducive to your child's learning.

Our holistic approach values Catholic education, which provides students with the opportunity to develop their gifts and talents. An added emphasis on the eight characters of Catholic education – community, tradition, sacramentality, justice, hospitality, rationality, humanness and spirituality – calls students to service and action.

Our goal is to create an inclusive school through student-centered teaching and learning. We support  the division's inclusive education statement: "all resident students and their parents/caregivers are welcomed into our schools. The Learning Team is committed to collaborating, identifying, applying and monitoring practices enabling all students to reach their potential, spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically and academically within the Programs of Study alongside their peers."  Flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of students is an important feature of inclusive education programming. Specific delivery models for individualized programs may vary from class to class and from school to school depending on the needs of the individual students attending (AP 213).

École Holy Cross offers the Enhanced Academic Program (EAP) for students in Grades 7 to 9. Applications for the EAP are available here, and should be submitted to the office in person or by email to 8203web@ecsd.net by March 15th, 2021.

Each school year provides new experiences and great challenges. We look forward to working with you, and trust that this year will be a rewarding educational experience for your child.
