Honoré Mercier School is a bilingual school. Thus, from Kindergarten to the end of Cycle III, pupils receive approximately half of their instruction in French, with alternating days of French and English instruction.

Students are taught physical education, art and music by specialists. In addition, Kindergarten pupils receive 170 minutes of Music, Dance and Physical Education per week, taught by a specialist.

At the end of the year, a Kinderfest is organized at which time parents have the opportunity to see and experience for themselves the concepts their children have learned.

Honoré Mercier School holds an annual Science Fair, involving students from grades 1-6. All of our students are winners, however 5 groups go on to present at the Bell Regional Science Fair.

Honoré Mercier students are passionate about science!

From the start of their elementary school experience, our kindergarten and cycle 1 students are exposed to scientific inquiry through hands on learning.

Cycle 2 and 3 students have the opportunity to explore science and technology in French. It is based on 3 scientific concepts: Living Things, Earth and Space and the Material World.

Science classes equip students with the knowledge they need, in order to inquire about the world that surrounds them. Technology is incorporated throughout our curriculum.

Students continuously attain grand achievements at the Quebec Regional Science Fair.  They consistently return with Gold, Silver and Bronze Medal standing for their stellar scientific projects!  We have an exceptional program which encourage our children to excel with facility.
