A One-of-a-Kind Global Classroom
Our international program is a key part of our international mission, welcoming students from France or AEFE schools around the world. As an accredited AEFE school, we offer the same French Ministry of Education curriculum you already follow, integrated with the Alberta curriculum to enhance your English language skills. Students live with a host family during the stay.

Our Global Community in Action
What was more attractive to me was being in an English atmosphere, with an English-speaking family surrounded by English speakers while continuing my studies towards the French Baccalauréat.

Grade 11 International Program Student
We feel truly blessed to witness how much Hanna gained academically, culturally, socially, and personally, thanks to the school’s inclusive environment where every student is known and supported, where the Principal greets everyone at the school entrance each morning. Hanna made lifelong friendships, improved both her French and English, and embraced the natural beauty of Canada through hiking, skiing, and unforgettable Rocky Mountain adventures. This life‑changing experience broadened her horizons, boosted her confidence, and helped her grow into a more confident and outspoken young person, leaving her with a deep love for Calgary and the school community. She will be coming to visit!
