Late French Immersion Information Nights are Next Week

Category: DistrictSchool

Late French Immersion Information Nights are meant for parents who currently have children in Grade 5 to learn about Late French Immersion (which starts in Grade 6).

What is Late French Immersion?
The major goal of Delta’s Late French Immersion program is to provide the opportunity for non-Francophone students to become functionally bilingual in English and French. This is a Grade 6 to 12 program.
