International & Indigenous Languages Elementary Programs

Elementary International Languages are available for students in Kindergarten to Grade 8. No prior language experience is necessary. International Languages programs comply with the Ministry of Education curriculum and will be of interest to students who wish to preserve their language and cultural heritage and also to those who wish to study the language and heritage of another culture. Students attending schools outside of the DPCDSB may also register for these programs.
