Être bilingue, c'est gagnant!

The EMSB offers three models of French in elementary schools; Core, Bilingual and French Immersion. The Bilingual and Immersion models offer language learning through a variety of subjects other than language courses.

Our secondary schools offer several French programs that exceed the minimum requirements set by the Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur. In secondary Cycle 1, for example, there are French programs whose teaching time varies between 38% to 73%.

The objective of our educational programming is to enable students to succeed in the most advanced ministerial program they can achieve, either, Français, programme enrichi or Français, langue d’enseignement. This level of achievement identifies students as bilingual.
