Moderns Department

Moderns at d'Youville

We believe in Moderns that the knowledge of a second language is valuable for many reasons. Students strengthen their first language skills and enhance their critical and creative thinking abilities; they also tend to become more tolerant and respectful of other cultures. In addition, the ability to communicate in another language provides students with a distinct advantage in a number of careers, both in Canada and internationally.

Exposing the students to French will allow them to make associations between their own life experiences and those of their peers internationally. They will also gain an intrinsic sense of social responsibility, human solidarity and life and justice issues. Furthermore, through this exposure, students will be continually challenged to become Christ-centered by addressing issues of bias, inclusivity and tolerance.
