French Immersion...

Is for children whose first language is NOT French.

Offers the B.C. curriculum where students learn to communicate in French.

Develops strong skills and flexible thinking.

Widens cultural horizons.

Opens doors to career and educational opportunities for the future.

French Immersion is designed for children of non-French background who would not otherwise learn French. To be successful in this program, parents do NOT have to know French.

Options Available

The Surrey School District offers two (2) merging French Immersion programs that end in grade 12. Both options provide a unique opportunity for students to embark on a positive learning experience with life long benefits.

The first of the two options is known as Early French Immersion (Kindergarten entry). Students enrolled in this program enter French Immersion in Kindergarten and graduate in grade 12 with a bilingual Dogwood Diploma (French & English).

The second option is the Late French Immersion program (Grade 6 start). Here, students enter French Immersion in grade 6 and graduate in grade 12, also with a bilingual Dogwood Diploma.

The two programs merge together in grade 8, integrating the knowledge and enthusiasm of all for a common goal. Graduates of our program are functionally bilingual upon graduation. They can apply on federal government jobs, foreign postings that require French language, etc.

The Secondary French Immersion program is offered in four Secondary schools: The North end of the District is serviced by École Kwantlen Park. In the Central area, the program is offered at École Panorama Ridge Secondary. École Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary serves Secondary Immersion students in the East of Surrey and École Earl Marriott Secondary is the program for the South zone.

In Secondary school, the students work with the prescribed BC Ministry of Education curriculum with a number of courses being delivered in French.
