FRENCH IMMERSION AT SASKATOON PUBLIC SCHOOLS French Immersion is a program designed for students whose first language is not French. The program uses French as the primary language of instruction and communication in the school setting to enable students to acquire functional language skills. The goals of Saskatoon Public Schools’ French Immersion program are to: • offer a comprehensive French education allowing for the personal development of students, and • increase French language learning competence while also developing students’ English skills. The aim of the French Immersion program is for students to communicate effectively in Canada’s two official languages. Upon completing the program, students are able to:

TIPS FOR PARENTS

Parents do not need to speak French in order to enroll their children in French Immersion. Most parents have little or no French language skills. While teachers foster students’ language learning at school, parents can also support their child’s learning at home: • encourage your child throughout their learning journey, especially during the initial fall term when students are learning the basics of a new language; • engage your child with meaningful language opportunities at home by reading, viewing, and listening to materials in French; and • recognize your child’s accomplishments to build their confidence for tackling new challenges.

• pursue post-secondary education/training in both French and English, • pursue employment in French and English, and • possess an understanding of global perspectives on cultures and peoples, including their own. The approximate percentage of instruction in French through K-12 French Immersion is as follows:

• 100%—Kindergarten to Grade 2 • 75%—Grade 3 to 8 • 50%—Grade 9 to 12

Une chance pour apprendre une deuxième langue peut ouvrir beaucoup de portes pour des emplois et les expériences pour le futur. A chance to learn a second language can open many job opportunities and chances to be a part of future experiences. JAE

ELEMENTARY FRENCH IMMERSION Saskatoon Public Schools offers a Kindergarten to Grade 8 elementary French Immersion program. French Immersion students learn French and English and follow provincial curricula. Students generally enter the program in Kindergarten or Grade 1. The language of instruction is primarily French in Kindergarten to Grade 2. Utilizing the provincial curricula for early learners, our French Immersion program maintains a strong focus on student identity and language development while fostering students’ achievement in multiple subjects. The English Language Arts program is not formally introduced until Grade 3. In Grades 3-8, students apply their literacy and language skills to support and further their learning. Once students have learned to read in French, they apply this skill as they continue to explore the language and build vocabulary, communicate orally with purpose, and write to explain their thoughts and learning. The ability to speak, read, and write is applied in all subject areas and enables students to continue to learn the French language in the context of curricular subjects. Saskatoon Public Schools has seven dual-track elementary schools offering parallel English and French programs. The program schools are: • École Alvin Buckwold School • École College Park School • École Dundonald School • École Forest Grove School • École Lakeview School • École River Heights School • École Silverspring School Beginning in Kindergarten, École Henry Kelsey and École Victoria offer a single-track program where only French Immersion is offered.

COLLEGIATE FRENCH IMMERSION French Immersion at the collegiate level builds on students’ established language skills while also building competency in curricular subjects. To maintain their French Immersion status in high school and to be recognized as bilingual on their diploma, students are required to complete a minimum of 12 credits in French in Grades 10, 11 and 12. The necessary courses include three French Language Arts courses. The other nine French credits can be in the remaining areas of study or electives that are taught in French. Saskatoon Public Schools provides French Immersion programming at four of our high schools: • Centennial Collegiate • Marion M. Graham Collegiate • Tommy Douglas Collegiate • Walter Murray Collegiate
