A pedagogy
where engagement is at the heart of success
At CSJV, students are encouraged to actively engage in their learning, collaborate, and develop their autonomy, all within a structured and dynamic environment.

A flexible and
efficient organization
The school operates on an 18-day cycle schedule, allowing for better distribution of learning periods and planning adapted to educational projects.
- Each class period lasts 70 minutes, promoting deeper learning and effective time management.
- The lunch break lasts 60 minutes, including opportunities for catch-up or activities.
- Classes run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:50 p.m. (1st cycle) or from 8:45 a.m. to 4:05 p.m. (2nd cycle).
We prioritize...
- Active engagement: students are the drivers of their own learning, encouraged to collaborate and experiment.
- Balance and well-being: learning and personal development come together in a stimulating environment.
Our approach aims to develop the 6 key competencies of the CSJV graduate profile: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, citizenship, and strength of character. These competencies enable each young person to become an engaged, autonomous, and resilient citizen.
Our digital tools
Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, the school is making a digital shift for incoming Secondary 1 students. They will now be equipped with a Chromebook.
Students currently at the school will continue to use their iPad, which remains a high-performing educational technology tool.
Regardless of the tool used (iPad or Chromebook), our teaching team will continue to support students in developing their digital skills through a digital citizenship program.
