Our Education
We are a school of academic excellence that integrates the best of both the French and Canadian systems.
Cousteau students are open minded, engaged, thinkers, confident and mindful of self and others.

Middle School
Grade 6 to 9
Middle School is the next step in the student’s academic journey.
Having acquired the building blocks of learning in Elementary School, students enter Middle School at Grade 6 ready to embark on a whole new adventure.
Our scholars have the opportunity of graduating with diplomas from France and B.C., enabling them to access the best schools abroad.
Eco-School
There’s fewer bigger issues facing the world today than the environmental crisis.
As the first Eco-Certified school in Canada, our curriculum includes Nature Classes, waste reduction activities, biodiversity and ecology projects, and beach clean-ups. Many of these activities are led by the student Eco-Committee, who brainstorm new environmental initiatives for the school community to pursue each year.
