Registration Information
Students in Grade 5 may apply for admission to Grade 6 Late French Immersion. After the application closing day, all those who applied will have their names entered into a draw to determine who will be offered available seats at each location. Families will then be contacted regarding offers for placement at each site for which their name is drawn.
Please note that due to the nature and pace of the program, students will not be admitted to the Late French Immersion program after the second week of instruction.
