If approved, the increase in French in Grade 1 would go ahead in fall 2023 and students in Grade 1 that year could apply in January 2024 to go into French immersion in Grade 2. Starting French immersion in Grade 2 would give parents - particularly parents whose first language isn't English and who may not fully grasp the benefits of the French immersion program - more of a chance to talk to educators about the program, Della Lataille-Herdsman, superintendent of student achievement and well-being, told trustees.Īs well, French-language teaching would increase from eight per cent of the curriculum to 16 per cent of the curriculum for all Grade 1 students.
