William Latter School Educational Project 2014-2019
William Latter School is located in historic Chambly. Our students are within walking distance of Fort Chambly and are from the communities of Chambly and Carignan. Our population is mostly francophone (varies between 60 and 70%) with eligibility for English education.
In May 2013, William Latter celebrated its 50 years of teaching and serving the English communities within this zone. We offer two programs to our clientele; an English program and a French Immersion program. We are a growing community. At present, we have 326 students, 54% in the Immersion program, and 46% in our English program. Our music program generates yearly music concerts for all William Latter students, with over 800 guests in attendance. We have had a strong Kindergarten registrations for the last 5 years, plus we expect our growth to continue for the next few years ahead. There is a tremendous building boom in Chambly and Carignan and we hope to attract more students to our school.
