In addition to English classes, the York Catholic District School Board is pleased to offer a Regional French Immersion Program in Aurora, Georgina, Markham, Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Vaughan (Maple, Thornhill, Woodbridge), and Whitchurch-Stouffville.
French Immersion programs are designed to provide non-francophone children with a high degree of proficiency in the French language.
While any exposure to a second language is beneficial, French Immersion broadens and deepens that exposure. In Immersion programs, French is not only a subject, but a language of instruction and a means of communication.
