A World to Discover

Our school’s philosophy stresses the cooperation and recognition for excellence, lateral enrichment, learning through discovery, hands on learning and experimentation and application of knowledge.

The French Immersion, Math/Science curriculum, critical thinking skills, acceptance, democratic values, extra-curricular activities and leadership roles are all key elements of Royal Vale School’s mission.

At the elementary level, we offer an Enrichment Program that includes the choices of Hebrew Studies (PELO) or Language Arts in French or English, as well as parent sponsored after-school programs. All students who attend Royal Vale are offered a unique opportunity to inspire their minds and build their futures. The Enrichment Program at the elementary level offers student the chance to further develop and hone their skills in the domains of Mathematics and Science, Fine Arts and Physical Education.

At the secondary level, we offer compulsory extra-curricular activities and intensive studies in Mathematics and Science.

Procedures to Follow

All pupils registering for the first time are required to provide a birth certificate and vaccination records to the school the child will be attending. Parents will be asked to fill out forms which will allow the school to apply for the certificate of eligibility for English schooling. Under the Charter of the French Language, a certificate of eligibility is generally granted to children who did the majority of their elementary or secondary studies in English in Canada; whose mother or father did the majority of his/her elementary studies in English in Canada; or whose brother or sister did the majority of his/her elementary or secondary studies in English in Canada. As a result of language legislation, this criteria excludes studies completed in the Quebec Private School system.
