French as a Second Language Programs

Learning a second language enhances a student's overall learning skills, expands career opportunities and promotes understanding among cultures. The Toronto District School Board offers a variety of French As a Second Language Programs in both the elementary and secondary schools.

Core French is offered to all students  for 40 minutes a day from Grades 4-8 and continues into secondary school from Grades 9-12.

There are  two types of intensive French programs: French Immersion and Extended French. Both programs are designed to give students the opportunity to learn French, not simply as a language program but also through other subjects taught in French.

For information regarding French classes for adults please contact the Continuing Education Department either through the website or at 416-338-4111.

The TDSB has a parent organization who supports French As a Second Language programs. For more information about the French As a Second Language Advisory Committee (FLSAC) log onto www.tdsb.on.ca/fslac.
