LIFPA Don Bosco in Saint John, New Brunswick: French International School for Ages 2 to 18
Welcome to LIFPA Don Bosco, the premier French International School in Saint John, New Brunswick, offering a comprehensive educational experience for children from age 2 to 18. Our school integrates daycare services with a French curriculum, providing early childhood education from age 2 to 5 years old.
Daycare and School Program:
Our daycare program is led by French-certified teachers and follows the French National Education program. The program is conducted over 36 weeks, covering 180 days, with classes held from 8:00 am to 11:00 am and 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm, totaling 25 hours per week. Before and after school hours, from 7:30 am to 8:30 am and 2:30 pm to 6:00 pm, children are cared for under our daycare principle.
We ensure that our supervision adheres to New Brunswick child care regulations. During the 12 weeks outside the 36-week school year, children can attend our daycare center from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. Please note that the school is closed for 15 days at Christmas, the last week of July, and the first week of August.
Our Mission:
At LIFPA Don Bosco, our goal is to provide each child with a successful and enriching first school experience. Our preschool program is designed to support children’s development through a unique identity and age-appropriate cultural adaptation. Unlike traditional elementary schools, our preschool focuses on fostering autonomy and providing a supportive environment where children can explore, discover, and engage in spontaneous experimentation.
Our dedicated teachers create an environment that encourages organized activities and high levels of engagement, helping children build foundational skills through play, action, and autonomous research. This early education lays the groundwork for the systematic learning that will be developed in elementary school, guiding each child along their personal path of fundamental acquisition and growth.
