FRENCH IMMERSION PROGRAM

The objective of our French Immersion program is to provide students with a strong and vibrant bilingual education. Our French Immersion program provides students a chance to develop language skills, as well as skills in various subject areas. The program can provide graduates with a greater choice of post-secondary and workplace options. A French Immersion education is not limited to the classroom as students are offered many French cultural activities such as plays, French movies, le Festival du Voyageur and trips.

 

GRADE 9 COURSES

 

In the Grade 9 French Immersion program, one teacher is typically responsible for Français and Sciences Humaines, one is responsible for Mathématiques and Sciences de la nature, and a third is responsible for English. Regardless of the combination, the intent is the same: that teachers and students have the time necessary to develop strong and meaningful relationships to better understand each student’s learning needs, whether it be academic and/or social-emotional.

 

Students are required to take certain compulsory core credits by Manitoba Education and several compulsory credits by Collège Garden City Collegiate. Other credits taken are called electives or options. A typical combination of compulsory and option credits for French Immersion students at Collège Garden City Collegiate include:

​

Grade 9

 - 6 Core Credits (Français, English, Sciences Humaines, Sciences de la Nature, Mathématiques & Phys. Ed.)
