French Immersion at the Secondary Level : 

 a continuing challenge.

This program of studies is for students who wish to develop further the bilingual abilities achieved through the Junior High experience.

What students need to know:

• Students need 14 credits in order to receive the Provincial French Immersion Diploma. 

• Students can complete up to 70% of their Secondary Program in French.

• Students must commit themselves to the exclusive use of French in all Immersion classes.

• Students participate in a cultural activities program.  These activities are an extension of the français courses allowing students to develop an awareness and appreciation of the culture of French-speaking people and providing opportunities for students to enrich their linguistic skills in a non-academic context.

• For each Immersion course, 10% of the grade will be attributed to the student’s effort to speak French in class.

• A number of compulsory Immersion courses as well as other compulsory courses are needed in order to graduate.
