Application to these other programs is managed directly at each of the schools. See below for more information regarding the program, catchment areas and admission procedures.

Middle French Immersion is offered in two schools:
Intermediate Extended French (Grade 7 Entry)
The grade 7 Extended French program offers students who have successfully completed three years of Core French the option to enter into a more intensive program in grade 7. These students spend approximately 40% of their day in French classes at the Extended French school.
