Ottawa has two French-language boards, one public and one Catholic, alongside its English boards. If your child needs help in French, ask for a tutor who teaches in French, not just one who speaks it.
The curriculum, the tests, the school boards and the French options your child's tutor will work with.
Ottawa follows the Ontario curriculum. Elementary students get a fall progress report, a winter report card and a June report card. Your board sets the exact dates.
EQAO tests reading, writing and math in Grades 3 and 6, and math in Grade 9. The Grade 10 literacy test (OSSLT) counts toward graduation. A tutor helps prepare.
Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (English public), Ottawa Catholic School Board (Catholic), Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario (French public) and Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (French Catholic).
Ottawa's English boards offer French as a second language, with immersion starting at different grades. The two French boards teach fully in French from Kindergarten. A tutor helps with either.
Online lessons work anywhere. For in-person lessons, we match you with a certified teacher near you.
Ottawa Public Library's Orléans branch has a quiet study area and a large French collection, and Stittsville has one too. Some rooms are for non-commercial use only.
Online lessons reach every community here. In-person lessons depend on a certified teacher living nearby. Areas include:
Downtown Ottawa, Orléans, Kanata, Barrhaven, Stittsville, Nepean and Vanier
