The High School
The High School offers a challenging academic programme from Secondary I to Secondary V leading to the student being prepared to take his or her High School leaving exams in view of obtaining the Diplôme d’Etudes Secondaires, Formation générale from the Ministère de l’Education du Québec. This is accomplished within the context of Christian life training that features:
- Morning homeroom devotions at every level for 15 minutes including Bible readings and prayer.
- Student-led assemblies featuring Bible-reading, choruses, prayer and guest speakers.
- Assemblies marking special events in the Christian calendar.
- Every student takes Bible as an academic course three periods a cycle, featuring the Life of Christ in Secondary I, the Old Testament in Secondary II, the New Testament and Church History in Secondary III, the Book of John and a critical look at world religions from a Christian perspective in Secondary IV, the religious mosaic of Canada, Christian World View and the book of Ecclesiastes in Secondary V.
The school’s program features:
- Teachers, who must fully endorse the Statement of Faith of the school, present a Christian world and life view in all of their courses. Thus, God’s truth is integrated into all the curriculum. The result is that, although we follow the Ministry of Education’s programme and prepare our students for Quebec High School leaving examinations, we are truly offering a Christian education at Emmanuel, from Kindergarten through to Secondary V.
- Emmanuel follows the system laid down by the Ministère de l’Éducation in its Régime Pédagogique for the Province of Québec.
- A partial immersion courses at most levels, including Éducation physique, Géographie générale (Sec. I), Arts plastiques (Sec. I & II), Histoire générale (Sec. II), Géographie du Québec et du Canada (Sec. III), Histoire du Québec et du Canada (Sec. IV) and Enseignement moral et religieux (Sec. IV & V).
- A double-stream French instruction consisting of either Français Langue Maternelle or French Second Language according to the capabilities of the student.
- A Science and Mathematics programme designed to prepare capable students for entry into Health Sciences or Pure and Applied Sciences at the Cegep level. As in all English language Quebec schools, this curriculum is in transition.
- A strong drama program with top notch productions such as "Lifeline" and "Catacombs".
- Annual Public Speaking contest as part of the English Language Arts curriculum. Students also compete against other QAIS schools.
- Music has a strong presence at Emmanuel Christian School. Students can sing at assemblies, learn the guitar, join the school Band and listen to visiting choirs or musicians.
