Collège catholique Samuel-Genest (CCSG) is a French Catholic junior high and high school (Grade 7 to Grade 12) in Ottawa, Ontario, under the Conseil des écoles catholiques de langue française du Centre-Est (CECLFCE). Both junior high and high school sides were combined in 2004 with the fusion of the CCSG (high school) with the junior high schools of Pauline-Vanier and Vision Jeunesse (both in Ottawa, ON).

[edit] History

In September 1979, CCSG opened with 71 students, in two classes of Grade 9 and one class of Grade 10. The administration, knowing that students want to follow their high school education at Samuel-Genest, created Grade 11 classes the next year, and a Grade 12 class in 1982. It was only in 1984 however that a Grade 13 was offered.

[edit] Concentrations

[edit] Concentration Scientifique

CCSG is known for its academic strength in the field of Science. It is the only high-school in the Ottawa region to offer a Concentration Scientifique (French for Scientific Concentration).

[edit] New concentrations

In the 2006-2007 school year, the school also launched 2 new programs, exclusively to Grades 7-8, which are Sam'Artiste (Artists Program) and Sam'Sportif (Sports program), in addition to the Sam'Enrichi program, affiliated to the 9-12 Scientific Concentration. It is expected that the Sam'Artiste and Sportif programs will be gradually expanded to Grades 9-12.
