Your Questions, Answered

  • Will my child learn both English and French?
    Yes. All our language streams give students the opportunity to learn in one language while being exposed to the other — or to grow in both through our bilingual programme. Each pathway supports the development of confidence and communication in both English and French.
  • What if my child doesn’t speak French (or English)?
    No problem. Our teachers are experts in language support, and your child will build confidence gradually. Whichever stream they start in, they’ll develop both French and English.
  • Can we switch streams if our situation changes?
    Yes. We’ll help you choose the best moment, and support your child through the transition.
  • Do you support students joining mid-year?
    Absolutely. With personalised onboarding and a peer buddy system, your child will feel part of the class quickly.
  • How quickly will my child feel part of the community?
    Often right away. Our buddy system, class structures, and values help children connect — and feel safe to be themselves.
  • What do families say about CDL?
    That we see their children. That we listen. And that the balance between challenge and care is what keeps them here.
