École Augustin Roscelli

École Augustin Roscelli is a Canadian nonprofit educational organization providing French-language instruction primarily at the preschool (4 years old) and elementary levels. The institution is located in Montréal, Quebec, and operates as a subsidized school recognized by provincial authorities.

Mission and Educational Approach

The school's mission is to support students' growth into engaged and responsible individuals capable of leading their own lives, grounded in evangelical Christian values. It emphasizes the development of autonomy, resourcefulness, responsibility, and self-confidence among its pupils throughout their primary education.

École Augustin Roscelli places a strong focus on the French language as the medium of instruction, dedicating more classroom time to French and mathematics than the minimum prescribed by the Quebec Ministry of Education (MEQ). This extended instructional time allows teachers to reinforce fundamental concepts while fostering a genuine enjoyment of learning. Given its multicultural context, the school sees French not only as a language of instruction but also as a key factor in the cultural integration of students and their families.

• Early childhood education starting at age 4
• Primary education
• After-school care programs
• Extracurricular activities spanning languages, sports, arts, sciences, games, and computer skills

• Professional support services in orthopedagogy and psychoeducation

As of the latest data, the school serves approximately 458 students across preschool and elementary levels. The leadership includes a General Director who oversees the educational and administrative functions.
