Bienvenue! Welcome to the Late French Immersion Program.
Overview
The
Late French Immersion Program is a two-year intensive program offered
to all students who have successfully completed Grade 5. In Grade 6,
100% of instruction is delivered in French with an emphasis on oral
French, to ensure effective language acquisition. English Language Arts
are re-introduced in Grade 7 and represent 20% of instruction time,
while all other subjects continue to be taught in French. In Grade 8,
Late French Immersion students join their Early French Immersion peers
for continuation of the French Immersion Program at the secondary level
through to Grade 12.
This highly popular second language
program is offered subject to space availability and the requirements of
the North Vancouver School District enrolment and registration
process.
