We offer a full French Immersion Program at GIIS. Students who successfully complete the Secondary French Immersion program attain bilingual status and are awarded a Bilingual Dogwood certificate upon graduation. This certificate opens the door to numerous post-secondary opportunities in learning and working in Canada. The program involves taking 4 courses at the grade 8 and 9 levels, 2 courses at the grade 10 level and a full-time Intensive Semester in the second half of grade 11 ending with the Provincial Assessment in FRAL12. Students generally stay with the same cohort throughout the program and benefit from many extra-curricular activities as part of their learning. All coursework is required to receive a dual Dogwood certificate.
