Programs and Services (Constrained)
Overview
These academies provide an extraordinary opportunity for students to not only work towards their high school graduation but also to accelerate their knowledge and skill development in areas that truly resonate with them. Whether it's a love for the arts, a passion for technology, or a desire to excel in a particular field, our academies serve as a springboard for successful post-graduation pursuits.
What sets our academies apart is the flexibility they offer. In some cases, students can even participate in two academies simultaneously, broadening their horizons and expanding their skill sets further.

Registration
Students are immersed in the French language within the classroom where French is used for meaningful communication and for instruction in all subject areas.
French Immersion students develop strong communication skills in both French and English. They also develop a knowledge and understanding about the structure of language that may enable them to learn other languages more easily.
Subject to space availability and the requirements of our enrolment and registration process, Early French Immersion students begin the program in Kindergarten (or in some cases, the beginning of Grade 1) and continue on through to Grade 12. All instruction is in French for the first three years (Kindergarten to Grade 2). Formal instruction in English begins in Grade 3 and represents 20% of instructional time through to Grade 7. The percentage of French instruction decreases gradually as students proceed through the secondary grades to allow for flexibility in course selection, while ensuring the maintenance of a high level of proficiency in French.
