The Sudbury Catholic District School Board offers an early French Immersion program option which is available to all students. This is a highly successful approach to second language learning in which students receive instruction in French for a significant portion of the day. Students study the same curriculum content as their peers in the regular English program. There is no expectation that parents of students in the French Immersion program are able to understand or speak French.

Grade Percentage Instruction Delivered in the French Language
JK/SK 90%
Grades 1/2 77%
Grades 3/4 65%
Grades 5-8 55%

The goals for a high school graduate of our Immersion program include:

• communicate naturally in French using a wide range of vocabulary
• function well in a French-speaking community
• accept a job where French is the working language
• pursue university or college education in French.
