"Multilangue" Program

Discover our unique program designed to prepare students to become the leaders of tomorrow.

Today, mastering multiple languages is no longer simply an advantage—it is a necessity. Recognizing this reality, Collège de Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière introduced a program in 2016 that is unique in Québec.

The Multilingual Program allows students to dedicate at least 55 minutes every day—representing a minimum of 27% of their classroom time—to learning foreign languages, all within their regular school schedule!

By completing all five years of the Multilingual Program, students will have significantly strengthened their English proficiency, developed strong Spanish language skills, and acquired an intermediate level of proficiency in a fourth language (German or Mandarin).

This comprehensive linguistic education equips students with the skills and confidence they need to embrace the challenges and opportunities awaiting the leaders of tomorrow.
