In 2012 York Region District School Board completed a year-long review of the French as a Second Language (FSL) programs, including Core French and French Immersion (FI). One of the outcomes of this review was a long-term FI accommodation plan for students across York Region. YRDSB’s FI program will be offered in Dual Track or Single Track settings, in a variety of configurations. Students may begin the French Immersion program in one location, but continue in a different location. This will allow flexibility in addressing community needs and the opportunity to use existing space in schools. The new accommodation plan will provide consistency and equity of access to all students in York Region and will enable YRDSB to continue to offer the FI program to all who wish to enroll.
Please note that some of the FI accommodation plans will require facility modifications or the development of new schools and will require short-term transition plans that might include overflow while we work toward the long-term vision.
You can use the School Locator beginning in January 2021 to locate YRDSB schools offering the FI program for your address for the 2021-22 school year. A pre-recorded information session for the French Immersion (FI) program will be available on January 14, 2021. Registrations will take place January 15 to February 5, 2021.
