French Language Schools

At a French language school, your son or daughter will be immersed in the French language, speaking French on a daily basis, acquiring a deep understanding of the language.

The increasing popularity and success of French schooling
French-immersion programs are offered all over Canada. Enrollment in French immersion is highest in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. French immersion schools aim to develop functionally bilingual students who are able to communicate in French and English. After a few years in immersion school programs, students can use the immersion language fluently and confidently. Immersion schools are an outstanding option in case the overall academic level is comparable to regular schools. Immersion programs vary according to schools, contact information, delivery models, entry points and grade levels.

Competition, a growing population and the successes of previous programs have increased the popularity of French schools. The immersion language is most often a world language spoken by large numbers of people, such as Spanish, French, or Cantonese. Immersion programs may be categorized according to age and extent of immersion too. French immersion schools are well accepted as French is a popular language all over the world. In total immersion, almost 100% of class time is spent in learning French.

French language schools offer many benefits
Studies show that early immersion students in French and other languages are more successful in listening and reading than partial and late immersion students. Learning a foreign language (including French, but Spanish and any other language as well) has many advantages and studies show that the immersion method is a good way to learn foreign languages. Early language learning improves overall academic achievement. It also improves brain development, memory and cognitive learning. French immersion schools produce students who become flexible thinkers and exhibit greater problem-solving abilities.
