Private French-Immersion Junior High School

MCA offers a full French-immersion program, combining accelerated academics with athletics and fun, experiential learning. Enrollment is limited to 68 students per year, keeping class sizes small to provide an individualized educational environment.

2025-2026 school year testing and registration

All programs follow the guidelines of the Ontario Ministry of Education and are organized to meet the needs of the novice student of French, the continuing immersion scholar or, indeed, the young person whose mother tongue is French.

Applicants will be interviewed by a Macdonald-Cartier Academy administrator. The interview is designed to determine the applicant’s willingness to work within a disciplined and “French only” environment, and to verify the accuracy of reports submitted.

Macdonald-Cartier Academy is dedicated to excellence in academics, athletics, English and French communication skills and technology, in addition to the development of leadership, social responsibility and a sense of Canadian identity. A similar dedication is expected of Macdonald-Cartier students.

Prior to acceptance, all students must successfully complete qualifying examinations. Normally these examinations are taken in the fall of the year prior to entrance. These examinations consist of standardized tests in English, mathematics and French. Students are expected to achieve a minimum of “grade-level” performance in the first two of these areas of evaluation. The standardized tests in French are used to ensure proper placement according to language ability. Preparation for these objective tests is not necessary.

Applicants must submit a copy of their most recent report card. (This should be forwarded with the completed application form.)
