Why choose Extended French or the French Immersion Program at Newman?

According to the French Language Education in Canada policy handbook: English Catholic schools with French Immersion programs often offer a broader range of academic and extra-curricular opportunities, compared to smaller French Catholic schools. Students in English Catholic high schools have access to a wider selection of courses in Arts, Science, Tech, Math, SHSM and AP Programs along with plenty of clubs, sports teams and other activities that can enhance their high school experience overall. Larger schools also offer an abundance of programs outside of the school such as festivals, school trips and other events, which helps promote enriching experiences for students. St. John Henry Newman, with its long standing history and traditions, offers all of this to their French language students. In English Catholic school programs, students can be fully immersed in French if they choose while still experiencing a well-rounded education with other English language programming along the way.
