In French Immersion programs, children receive all or most of their
instruction in French from a teacher who speaks the language fluently. The
program is designed specifically for children whose first language is not
French.
According to research, the best age for beginning the continuous learning of
a second language seems to be 4 years to 8 years. Due to the number of hours a
child is exposed to French in the early Immersion Program, it is expected that
s/he will attain functional bilingualism by the time s/he graduates from
secondary school. Job and travel opportunities are broadened and students gain a
wide appreciation of cultural differences. View the French Immersion at Glad
