Core French
The Core French program is offered from Grades 4-8 in every Grand Erie school. Instruction is given in French for a minimum of 200 minutes per five-day cycle.
In Grand Erie secondary schools, a student must earn at least one credit in French to obtain an Ontario Secondary School Graduation Diploma. In Grades 10 to 12, students may choose an additional academic Core French course each year.
Both the Ministry of Education and Grand Erie District School Board value the Core French program, which provides students with relevant learning experiences to develop their oral communication, reading and writing skills in French.
Students in the Core French program will demonstrate a working understanding of information heard and read. They will also be able to speak in familiar situations.
