The students, staff and parents at Ecole Mountainview have had a very busy few months since moving to their new location last September. Kindergarten registrations for the 2011/12 school year are now being accepted at the school. In a school district that has seen declining enrollment, Ecole Mountanview has seen the school population grow as more families recognize the many benefits of choosing a bilingual education for their children. The benefits of choosing a bilingual education for your child are both tangible and intangible:
•A deeper understanding of their own and other cultures.
•A greater number of career options.
•A lifelong ability to communicate with French-speakers, in Canada and around the globe.
•Enriched travel experiences, especially to the 30 countries where French is spoken.
•Superior creativity and problem-solving ability.
•A facility for learning other languages.
The Terrace Chapter of Canadian Parents for French would like to invite community members to an Open House at Ecole Mountainview, April 20, 2011 at 7:00pm. Directrice Maxine Champion and members of the local chapter of Canadian Parents for French will be there to answer any questions about the French Immersion program in Terrace and give tours of this Ecole Mountainview.
If you are unable to attend the open house but would like to find out more about registering your Kindergarten or Grade One student in Ecole Mountainview for next September, please contact the school directly at 250.635.3115
