Commission on Francophone Schools

Together let's build the best schools possible for our children

Francophone schools shape the future of the Acadian and Francophone community of New Brunswick. In addition to educating, they are also involved in passing down the language and culture. To fulfil their two-fold mission, Francophone schools must take up these special challenges, which are summarized below:

Children and Parents

• Strengthen the attachment to the French language and Acadian and Francophone culture.
• Encourage Charter rights parents to choose a Francophone school for their child.
• Improve school readiness.

Schools

• Improve the performance of Francophone students.
• Deal with changes in the school population.
• Improve student services.
• Improve services for children of immigrant families and value cultural diversity.
• Improve teacher recruitment and retention.

Communities

• Place a higher value on education and academic success in our communities.
• Encourage parents and the community to become more involved in the life of the school.

Let's face these challenges together

The Commission on Francophone Schools is designed to initiate a consultation with the Acadian and Francophone community in order to find solutions to these challenges and to build the best schools for our children. The work of the Commission will make it possible to determine the areas of involvement, priority action, and roles of all stakeholders, with the children's success riding on a collective commitment.

This fall, the Commission on Francophone Schools will hold public meetings in all Francophone school districts in the province. Participate in the public consultations or send your comments, testimonials, or briefs to the Commission on Francophone Schools.
