French Immersion


French Immersion Program

French immersion is a Canadian educational program designed to give students whose first language is not French the opportunity to learn in the French language. Students registered in this program will spend 90% of their day learning in the French language. All subjects and activities in the French Immersion classroom, except for English language arts, will be delivered in French.

 

The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board is pleased to offer the French Immersion Program starting in Grade 1 at eight sites, starting in September 2011. These eight sites include the six schools currently offering French Immersion, as well as two new French Immersion sites for the 2011-12 school year.
