Students entering French Immersion programs, do so in Grade 1 or Grade 7 only
The Halton District School Board is currently preparing for September 2010, and information sessions regarding the Board’s French Immersion programs have been planned at the Board’s French Immersion Centres.
The Halton District School Board takes pride in offering Immersion and Extended French programs for students beginning in Grade 1 (Early) and Grade 7 (Extended). In these bilingual programs, elementary school students attend a Halton District School Board elementary school designated as a French Centre, where they receive half their instruction in English and half in French. This provides students with the opportunity to achieve a working command of French and simultaneously acquire the personal growth, knowledge and skills expected in the regular program.
Registration forms for the French Immersion program are available at any school within the Halton District School Board, including the French Centres listed below. Applications should be returned to the student’s home school by no later than January 15, 2010.
