Concentrations
Concentration Scientifique
CCSG offers enriched science courses from 9th to 12th grade. It is the only high-school in the Ottawa region to offer a Concentration Scientifique (Scientific Concentration).
7th & 8th grade concentrations
In the 2006–2007 school year, the school launched two programs exclusively to Grades 7–8: Sam'Artiste, an arts program, and Sam'Sportif, a sports program. There is also the Sam'Enrichit program, which offers enriched courses with additional subjects.
For Grades 7 and 8, the school offers a precursor to the Concentration Scientifique known as the Pré-Concentration Scientifique.
