Founded as the first school in Annunciation Parish in 1959, the school offered programs to both French-speaking and English-speaking students. The French instructional unit was discontinued when Ste-Madeleine was opened. As the years passed and the number of school aged children living in the area decreased, the school declined in numbers.
In 1987, it was felt that Our Lady of Wisdom would be an ideal location for instruction of French immersion. The program started in senior kindergarten. The French immersion program is thriving and continuing to grow each year.
