  • No. At the early grade levels, as most of the courses are taught in French, students adapt very quickly.  Parents do not need to speak French.  For older students, we have a Linguistic Academic Support program that harnesses those in need of such support and efficiently prepares students for full-course integration.

  • Time spent on homework is relative to the student’s grade division. At the early divisions, students are expected to have approximately 30-45 minutes of homework per night.  As the students grow older, the load increases, relative to the courses; however, so does the student’s ability to time-manage and this is partially due to our Method of Study courses, which begin in Grade 6.

  • La Citadelle has a policy of 20 students maximum per grade level.  Such a class ratio is imperative to the type of holistic education we seek to deliver.
