IMPORTANT:
Early and Late French Immersion is a program of choice. Registrations will be placed on a waitlist until availability of space is confirmed at each site. As per our registration process, a lottery system is in place to ensure an equitable opportunity for all.
While on the French Immersion waitlist, students will maintain a seat at their English catchment school. When accepted to a program, the parent or guardian must fill in the French Immersion Parent Accept/Withdraw Form, confirming that they will either accept or withdraw the student's place.
