École secondaire catholique des Satellites

The Consortium d'apprentissage virtuel de langue française de l'Ontario, or CAVLFO, offers a variety of online French courses for the province's high school students. It works in collaboration with Ontario's twelve French-language school boards, the Centre Jules-Léger Consortium and the Ontario Ministry of Education.

Yes, transportation will be offered to our high school students to their elementary school locations. Transportation will also be coordinated on an individual basis for students going to non-elementary school locations, such as Red Lake. 

Students will follow the hybrid courses synchronously with their peers from the other satellites. The intention is to create class relationships through interactions in the virtual classroom, as well as through regular visits between students from different satellites. In addition, they will be invited to systemic gatherings and events. TAs can also accompany them on trips to meet the requirements of the PPL1O course (9th grade course - Active Living and Health); and any other courses requiring travel during the student's journey. The possibility of developing student leadership within the elementary school also exists, and partnerships with English-speaking high schools to participate in sports teams are worth considering.

Students will take four courses per semester, two semesters per year, from grades 9 to 12. Courses in grades 9^e are all mandatory according to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma requirements. The courses will be as follows:

• French (FRA) - hybrid course
• English (ENG) - hybrid course
• Physical education (PPL) - hybrid course
• Science (SNC) - hybrid course
• Geography (CGC) - hybrid course
• Integrated arts CAVLFO - online courses
• Technology (TIJ) - CAVLFO - online courses
• Mathematics (MTH) - hybrid course

The satellites will have their own teaching and administrative teams. For the first year, a principal/guidance counselor, a teacher and a support person will complete the pedagogical team. Administrative support will also be provided on a pro rata basis.

Additional teachers will be added as enrolment increases in subsequent years.

No, for the time being, the distribution and number of Francophones in the area does not justify the construction of a building.
