Université Sainte-Anne
Université Sainte-Anne, the only French-language post-secondary institution in Nova Scotia, offers university and college-level courses as well as a French immersion program and customized training in French as a second language.
Location
Université Sainte-Anne has two conveniently located campuses on Cape Breton Island (as well as several others across the Province) in both Petit-de-Grat and Saint-Joseph-du-Moine.
Campuses
Petit-de-Grat
The Petit-de-Grat campus located in Isle Madame, south of Cape Breton, serves the four main communities of this island of 4,000 inhabitants, 80% of whom are of French-speaking Acadian origin. The Petit-de-Grat campus is thus at the service of the community of Arichat, Arichat-Ouest, D’Escousse and Petit-de-Grat. Following the collapse of the fishery in 1990, a host of community services were set up to revive the local economy. Thus, the Petit-de-Grat campus is now well established.
Université Sainte-Anne offers the following college certificates at the Petit-de-Grat campus: Continuing Care Assistant, Government Office Agent, Bilingual Administrative Assistant, Teacher Assistant as well as the Early Childhood Education college diploma. In addition, the campus offers a Bachelor of Social Work and a Bachelor of Education. This campus also offers evening classes and tailor-made training.
Saint-Joseph-du-Moine
The Saint-Joseph-du-Moine campus serves the communities of Chéticamp, Saint-Joseph-du-Moine, Terre-Noire, Belle-Côte and East Margaree. These Acadian communities are located on the west coast of Cape Breton Island, with the Gulf of St. Lawrence on one side and the Cape Breton Highlands to the rear, an approximate distance of 140 km north of Strait of Canso. These villages are on the “Cabot Trail” circuit, one of the most visited scenic routes in Canada. The population of approximately 4000 people is made up, for the most part, of people of Acadian origin. You will find warm people, a good table, music to make you kick your foot as well as a unique craftsmanship in this corner of the country.
