Option-études Châteauguay: Bilan de l’impact à moyen terme d’un programme de scolarisation commune d’élèves du secteur francophone et du secteur anglophone, sur les rapports intercommunautaires et l’identité

| Abstract |
In 2007, an innovative school program, “Option-études Châteauguay”, was launched, offering a unique opportunity for secondary school students educated in linguistically divided school boards to come together in a shared second-language learning experience. The two Chateauguay secondary schools participating in the program are Gabrielle-Roy (Commission scolaire des Grandes-Seigneuries ) and Howard S. Billings (New Frontiers School Board). The authors point out that the program allows students to crossover to the other educational sector and spend half the year in a French-medium school and the other half in an English-medium school, while respecting the educational clauses of Quebec’s Charter of the French Language (Bill 101). The program is considered unique in the Quebec context in two ways: it is based on an intergroup contact model developed in social psychology; and it brings together students in a shared schooling experience in their second language, organized around themes that draw on common interests, such as sports and entrepreneurial studies. The authors undertook a qualitative and longitudinal research study to assess the perceived short- and mid-term impacts of this experience on students’ intercommunity relationships and identities.
