H FIRST LANGUAGE EDUCATION ELIGIBILITY - Completion of this section is voluntary
One of the ways you may access French first language education is under Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
as an “entitled parent”. Under the Nova Scotia Education Act, children of an entitled parent are entitled to be provided a French-first-
language program. Clause 3(I)(h) of the Act defines “entitled parent” as follows:
An entitled parent means a parent who is a citizen of Canada and
i. whose first language learned and still understood is French, or
ii. who received his or her primary school instruction in Canada in a French-first-language program, or
iii. of whom any child has received or is receiving primary or secondary school instructions in Canada in a French-first-language
program.
As a parent, do you meet at least one of the above criteria? Yes No Do not know
Note:
French first language education is not a French immersion program.
You are advised that future children of your son or daughter may lose their right to an education in the French-first-language if your
child does not attend a French-first-language school.
In Nova Scotia, French first language education is only offered by the Francophone school board, the Conseil scolaire acadien provincial
(CSAP).
Representatives from CSAP are available to answer any questions you have regarding French first language education and to help you
determine if you are an entitled parent.
Do you wish to have your name, home telephone number, and email address given to CSAP for a representative to contact you with
more information about French first language education?
Yes No
