A supportive and inclusive community of growth, connection, and belonging
EFB is more than a school, it’s a community. We take it to heart to be very family-oriented, to work and learn together, from each other, to strengthen our bond as a community. This enables us to create a warm, welcoming and nurturing learning environment for our children, in class and beyond.
At the EFB, we want to offer more than a francophone educational experience to our students. We give our families the opportunity to be part of a francophone community that is culturally diverse and yet that has so much in common. We believe that the friendships that are developed can help children embrace their multicultural background and build their bilingual identity.
Building a community around
Faire grandir une communauté à hauteur d’enfant
We encourage family involvement in education, fostering strong, open relationships that connect home and school. Collaboration guides our teaching, ensuring families have a voice in their children’s learning journey.
To our EFB Parents . . .
We believe that teachers and parents should work in unison. Family involvement has been shown to improve student achievement. Parents are regularly invited to speak in class. We also invite families to serve on a school committee (board of directors, fundraising, event or after-school committees).
Throughout the year, we organize family-focused events, such as apple picking, dance parties, and farm outings so that families have an opportunity to socialize outside the school grounds. The school also invites families in for a School Breakfast a few times each year. This is a really enjoyable moment for families, teachers, and children to come together, and a great way to start the day!
Each year, the school receives support from parents who are fully engaged in different projects. We thank them for the way they enrich our school community every day.
