Dec. 20, 2011: The Halton District School Board takes pride in offering Early French Immersion and Extended French programs to the students in their communities with a set entry point in Grade 1 (Early) and Grade 7 (Extended). In these bilingual programs, elementary students attend one of the Board’s French Centres where they receive half of their instruction in English and the other half in French. This gives students the opportunity to achieve a working command of French and to acquire the personal growth, knowledge and skills expected in the regular program at the same time.

In preparation for September 2012, Halton District School Board has planned information sessions at various French Immersion centres where parents will receive specific information, as well as answers to frequently asked questions about Immersion programs. Parents will also receive a French Immersion Program Registration Form. 

Deliver or mail your application for Grade 1 Early French Immersion and Grade 7 Extended French Immersion to your child(ren)’s home school as soon as possible, but no later than 9 a.m. on January 20, 2012. Information evenings will be held at the following French Immersion Centres:
