Our secondary schools

Performing secondary schools

The Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon counts French-language secondary schools in the Sudbury-Manitoulin and Algoma Districts. Our students have access to efficient and performing secondary schools that ensure that whether they choose an apprenticeship program, college, community inclusion, the labour market or university as a path of studies, they will be able to follow a harmonious learning pathway.

Collège Notre-Dame

Located in downtown Sudbury, Collège Notre-Dame (CND) is the largest CSC Nouvelon secondary school, with an enrolment of 600 students and a teaching staff of 50. Collège Notre-Dame uses a trimester academic schedule, which means that its students take the same courses from September to June. That is an advantage for international students, since it makes it easier for them to adapt to their school before needing to think about exams. CND provides opportunities for science and math enrichment, as well as a widely acknowledged arts program. Collège Notre-Dame students may enrol in Specialist High Skills Majors in business or sports.
