Introduction to the Primary Division
The York Region DSB offers two quality French as a Second Language programs, Core French and French Immersion:
- French Immersion is an optional program that consists of full-day French instruction starting in Grade 1, at a designated school in your attendance area. Registration is necessary.
- Core French consists of 40 minutes per day of French instruction beginning in Grade 4 at your local school. Enrolment in Core French is automatic when a child reaches Grade 4. Core French is compulsory from Grade 4 to Grade 9.
The vision of the French as a Second Language Curriculum is that “students will communicate and interact with growing confidence in French, one of Canada’s official languages, while developing the knowledge, skills, and perspectives they need to participate fully as citizens in Canada and in the world.”
