Go to child profileF 4 T Academy students will be immersed in the French language. Our small classes allow teachers to assist students in discovering their true potential. All our instruction is done in French. Children will start to develop phonemic awareness the more they engage with the language. Our child centred approach of teaching focuses on the development of the whole child. As our students progress through the program, they will learn how to interact and socialize with their peers in a nurturing French environment.
The French immersion programs that Canadians are most familiar with were born out of the multicultural movement of the 1970s, and to some extent, they continue to reflect their age. The public school immersion programs begin, most typically, with Grade 1. Which is strange, given what we know about language acquisition, including uptake as well as the overall academic benefits of leering a second language. French 4 Tots offers a rich program that addresses precisely that, providing an early and authentically immersive French-language program. Given what we know about what learning languages can do for cognition, confidence, and just general academic engagement, the question isn’t “should we enroll in immersion?” but “why not?” The French 4 Tots program has a lot to offer, including a strong basis for children to advance to immersion programs in the primary years. Class sizes are small, allow for a high level of student-teacher engagement. The summer camp programs offer a nice opportunity for students to continue in a familiar environment outside the standard academic year.

Every child is different and learns at his or her own pace. I believe that all children possess the capacity to be excellent, and I feel privileged to be a part of their journey. Excellence is not an end goal, but rather it is the process by which children achieve their goal. At F4T Academy we hope to instill in every child that they are important and capable, and this belief is transferable to all aspects of their lives.
