Your Choice. Your Child's Future.

ALCEF is proud to now offer two distinct streams — our original Bilingual Department and our newest innovation, the Monolingual Department. Choose the path that best suits your child.

So now at ALCEF… you may choose between:

1. Our Standard

Bilingual Department

Truly Bilingual — English & French

The truly bilingual department with equal time on studies in English and French. All core subjects are taught in both languages — giving your child the ability to thrive in Francophone and Anglophone environments alike.

All subjects taught equally in English AND French
Equal time allocated to both languages
Prepares pupils for Francophone & Anglophone secondary school
Bilingual report cards and assessments
Full immersion from Nursery level
Maximum flexibility for future academic pathways
★ Our Biggest Innovation
2. The Novelty

Monolingual Department

Studies Exclusively in English

Our proudest innovation — full day studies in the English language only. French is taught as a subject (not the medium of instruction), with in-depth treatment of sounds, word building, and all Common Entrance subjects. All our traditional activities remain on the timetable.
