French as a Second Language

French is one of Canada’s two official languages. The French as a second language (FSL) courses offer students important cultural, linguistic and career development opportunities.

French as a Second Language (FSL) is taught as a subject. Its overarching goal is to enable students to communicate in French in a variety situations.  FSL also enables students to better understand francophone cultures in Canada and in other countries of the world.

FSL is taught 95 hours per year at the elementary and junior high levels, and 125 hours per year in senior high.

Two Sequences of FSL

FSL is offered in most of our schools in grades 4-12. Please check individual schools programs for more information.
