Comprehensive Bilingual Program

All elementary schools across the English Montreal School Board offer various levels of French language instruction integrated within the Québec Education Program.

Students from Kindergarten through to Grade 6 follow a bilingual curriculum model. Instructional time is divided equally between English and French on alternating days.

As a designated ICOR school, St. Gabriel is also able to guarantee reduced class sizes, allowing students to receive more individualised attention.

Extra-Curricular programs and activities are an extension to the basic school curriculum. Schools will offer a different variety of educational programs and activities depending on the community, location and volunteers and funding.

St. Gabriel benefits from programs such as the Inner-City Operation Renewal (ICOR) and Supporting Montreal Schools. These programs grant additional funding to schools like St. Gabriel for extra-curricular activities as well as additional speech and language support, social aid support, and a variety of other programs.

In addition, our school has a close involvement with community organizations such as the local YMCA and St Columba House.
