1. When should you start to prepare your kids to primary school in Montreal?
Do you know that there are some schools starts to accepte registration from one year old?Like PNDA (Pensionnat Notre-Dame-Des-Anges) in their website, you can see it shows
“we recommend starting the process before your child reaches the age of one in order to optimize their chances of attending our institution.”
There are also some private schools start the process before the age of three.
Although these are exceptions.
But, in my opinion, at least from the age of three, you should think about your child's elementary school things.
Why?
If you want to let your kid to try some "Famous" "volets particulier" public schools , like
École internationale de Montréal ,École Charles-Lemoyne, École Saint-Barthélemy, École Face ets.
You should think about some questions such as:
- Does my kid speaks French?
- Do I need to change my kid to another daycare where french is the main languages?
Because most of the "volets particulier" public schools have an entrance exam in French.
Same reason for some private schools which start " open house "and entrance exam early in Fall of the previous year .
Even if you only consider area public schools, you still need to think about like:
- Does my area school have a four year old preschool? Or starts from five years?
- Am I satisfied with this school? if not, do I need to consider to move ? where should I move to ?
