Welcome to Early French Immersion
We welcome any child residing in the 猫咪社区 to enter the Early French Immersion Program. Out-of-district families are also accommodated when possible. The usual entry year for Early French Immersion is Kindergarten, although students may also enter in Grade 1. Most children entering Kindergarten know very little or no French. A child needs prior knowledge of French to enter the Early Immersion Program after Grade 1. French is the language of instruction in all French Immersion classes.
