How we see Emmanuel Christian School
Emmanuel began more than 40 years ago with just 38 students in its founding year. It’s grown considerably, building out the program to include the early years, increased enrolment, and a move to its current location. In addition to the provision of an authentically bilingual learning environment, families are drawn by the attention to values, something that underwrites instruction in all areas of the curriculum. The school is very much a community of peers, a group that is formed around shared interests, values, and goals. The ideal student is one who will thrive within a vibrant, globally oriented setting, and who is looking forward to post-secondary education.
How Emmanuel Christian School sees itself
"Founded in 1975, Emmanuel is an inter-denominational Christian school that offers a caring, faith-based environment where academic and extracurricular programs are guided by the pursuit of excellence. Our bilingual elementary and high school enriched programs allow students to master both official languages. Students are encouraged to reach their full potential through visual and media arts, dance, drama, music, science fairs, public speaking competitions, sports, mission work and various leadership opportunities."

At Emmanuel Christian School, we strive to create a caring yet rigorous learning environment that caters to students’ individual growth and development. Our academic programs are designed to help students gain a greater understanding of the world around us and discover their God-given purpose and design.
Our extracurricular programs enhance our students’ experience by providing them with opportunities to further develop their gifts and talents through athletics, arts, music, and much more. Our students also refine their character through opportunities to serve and develop compassion for others. We provide each student with an experience steeped in excellence, while being rooted in Christian values. Ultimately, we want each one of our graduates to be well equipped for their future educational and life pursuits.
Founded in 1975, we have always felt that bilingualism is at the heart of the school. In order to better promote a comprehensive, diverse program with flexibility that is in the image of our multicultural student body, we are no longer requiring English eligibility for students to attend our High School. We feel that this will ensure the next generation of Emmanuel graduates will be best prepared in both English and French languages, so that they can thrive whether they stay in Quebec or explore other opportunities. Whether local or international, all students can benefit from our rich linguistic environment.
Over the years, many parents have commented on the caring environment and strong community bonds that cause them to send their children to our school. We hope that you will consider joining our school family, as we create a partnership to enhance your child’s academic, physical, social, and spiritual development.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Most big schools provide your extroverted child with plenty of social opportunities and the ability to interact with different peer groups with a wide range of personalities, interests, values, etc. A larger student population and more extracurriculars—including activities like team sports, arts programs, and debate—will give them a broader scope of opportunities to participate in events that scratch their interpersonal itch. “This may also give them the opportunity to hone certain skills,” say Ann and Karen Wolff of Wolff Educational Services. “For instance, they might run for student council to develop leadership and public speaking skills and learn to be a voice for other students.”
If you’re considering a language immersion school for your extroverted child, make sure it offers a wide range of social opportunities, including the ability to interact with kids outside of class. Since most of your child’s learning won’t be in their mother tongue, they may find it challenging at times to negotiate the complexities of social interaction in the classroom. This makes it especially important to ensure the school offers extensive extracurriculars—such as volunteering, sports teams, and arts programs—which will help your child satisfy their need to interact and make friends.
Make sure any prospective school, no matter what size, provides the right social environment to help your child feel at home, make friends, and develop confidence. This is especially important at big schools, which are sometimes more socially overwhelming and challenging for an introvert to find their bearings in. Of course, “Because larger schools usually have a more diverse student population, introverted kids are more likely to find a small group of people like them, a peer group they can relate to and find acceptance from,” says Dona Matthews, Toronto-based education consultant and co-author (with Joanne Foster) of Beyond Intelligence.

Remember, though, each child is different—so what works for one may not work for another.”
