    Francophone education is at the heart of our communities.

    Francophone education is much more than a public service, it is at the heart of our Francophone communities. In our schools, with every interaction and every action taken by a Francophone education worker, we shape a collective future. Supporting French-language education means strengthening our communities, our province, and our cultures. Together, we are building a more resilient society, one child at a time.

    Education is the foundation of our Franco-Ontarian communities.

    To pass on the French language and the culture is to pass on a brighter future.

    Stronger schools shape confident kids, and a more resilient society.

    The future of Ontario starts in our classrooms.

    French language education is a heritage worth protecting.

    What we sow in our schools benefits everyone in our society.

    Changing lives with humility.

    Behind every student journey, there’s a dedicated and devoted francophone education worker.

    Education is a team effort.

    The work of every francophone education worker helps create environments where children can comfortably learn and grow.

    Good working conditions make for a good learning environment.

    When francophone education workers are well supported, children receive better support and achieve better outcomes
