Extended French

The aim of the Extended French program is to develop students' French-language knowledge and skills and to provide them with an understanding and appreciation of francophone culture in Canada and around the world. By the end of the four-year program students will be able to converse freely on familiar topics; will be able to read books, magazines, and newspapers in French; and will be able to function in a French-speaking community. Schools may grant a certificate in Extended French Immersion if the student has successfully completed the sequence of four courses in Extended French and a minimum of three courses in other subjects taught in French.
