LFI REGISTRATION CLOSED
Welcome to the Late French Immersion (LFI) registration page.

French Immersion is a form of bilingual education designed for students whose first language is not French. It is a program where instruction is given in French and unlike Core French or Intensive Core French, course content such as Mathematics and Social Studies is delivered in French.

French immersion students learn the same curriculum as their peers in an English program; however some subjects are taught in French. It is based on the idea that students learn more French when they are required to use it to complete authentic tasks (i.e. Mathematics and Science). Over 30 years of research in Canada has produced overwhelming evidence that French immersion is a successful program.

Students begin Grade 7 with approximately 75% of subject instruction in French. This percentage decreases in each grade, as more subjects taught in English are introduced. In general, the following table illustrates which subject areas may be taught in French in the LFI program.

NOTICE: Registration for LFI is closed.
