P.E.L.O. provides an opportunity for our students to learn a heritage language. This program has been available in public schools for over 30 years and is financed by the Ministère de l'Éducation, de l'Enseignement supérieur et Recherche.
The purpose of P.E.L.O is to allow each child to broaden and better appreciate his/her language and culture of origin. In our case, due to the overwhelming number of students who are of Italian origin, the language taught is Italian.
The program is nevertheless open to all students in the school and at all cycles. Many students who are not of Italian origin avail themselves of the opportunity to learn a new language and better appreciate the culture of their friends, and as such, register for the program.
