Breve descripción de la evaluación de ingreso requerida
Students in grade 1 to 8 meet with the Academic VP, who speaks with them in French, and asks students to read a French passage for students entering the French Immersion Stream of the program. Students in Grades 4 to 8 entering the program with a beginner French focus will also meet with the Academic VP, to find out more about how well they would fit into the existing classroom of students - socially and academically.
We have rolling admissions, but offer places to existing families first.
