French Immersion
SHS offers an early French Immersion Program. Students enter the program at the Kindergarten or Grade 1 level. The instruction in Grades 1 through 6 is 25% English and 75% French. Kindergarten classes are conducted entirely in French with some use of English at the beginning of the program to establish routines.
The French Immersion Program provides students with an opportunity to learn a second language by using it. Students acquire both a knowledge and functional use of the French language by the end of the Senior 4 program. This learning is enhanced through a rich variety of activities such as special assemblies, field trips, cross-grade sharing, as well as cultural experiences.
The mixture of academic, social and cultural learning opportunities encourages
students to develop a positive attitude toward all cultures. A pamphlet
describing the French Immersion Program is available from the school office.
