Grade 6 & 7 Language Streams for new student

At La Citadelle Academy, we believe in creating a learning environment where every student is empowered to reach their highest potential through a holistic, bilingual education. Guided by our philosophy of academic excellence, inclusivity, and personalized support, our dual-language Mathematics stream is tailored to meet the diverse needs of students entering Grades 6 and 7. This program provides a choice of studying Math in either English or French, supporting new students from both English-speaking and French-speaking backgrounds as they transition into our community, while current students continue in their French Math stream.

In Grade 8, the language of instruction for Mathematics shifts to English for all students, preparing them for the advanced, four-credit Math requirements of our Secondary Panel. By combining strong bilingual foundations with focused academic preparation, La Citadelle ensures students excel in Mathematics, cultivating skills that give them a competitive edge as they progress through our rigorous secondary curriculum and beyond.

Students learn best when their learning experiences have context and are connected to their lives and their experience of the world that they have experienced. Using global contexts, IB-MYP students develop an understanding of their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet through developmentally appropriate explorations of:

  • Identities and relationships
  • Personal and cultural identity
  • Orientations in space and time
  • Scientific and technical innovation
  • Fairness and development
  • Globalization and sustainability

At La Citadelle, IB-MYP Students

  • Are motivated and demonstrate intellectual energy and curiosity;
  • Accept challenges and demonstrate personal initiative;
  • Are able to learn independently, while demonstrating academic potential, above-average standing and a range of interests;
  • Display an excellent command of spoken and written language with a commitment to second language learning;
  • Are actively involved and demonstrate a willingness to take a leadership role;
  • Have a global perspective and demonstrate an appreciation of and sensitivity to other cultures and perspectives

By the end of their study in Level II, IB-MYP student are required to complete a significant piece of work produced independently. This Personal Project must provide evidence of the student’s understanding of the IB-MYP Global Contexts through a written reflection piece. Successful completion of all course work and the Personal Project are part of the requirements to obtain the IB-MYP Diploma.

All evaluations in all subjects are criterion-referenced so that student performance is measured against well-defined levels of achievement consistent from one evalua­tion to another. Grades reflect attainment of knowledge and skills relative to a set of standards equally applied.

We would love the opportunity to meet you and to show you our remarkable school.
