I would like to enrol my child in a French language school. Is my child eligible?
• For a child to be automatically admitted, one of the parents or guardians must be a Canadian citizen and meet one of the following criteria: • completed his or her elementary education in a French-language school in Canada; or • have French as the first language learned and still understood; or • one of the children in the family is enrolled in a French-language school in Canada or has previously attended one. If neither parent meets these conditions, an admissions committee will determine whether or not the child is eligible. Please note that French-language schools meet the specific needs of francophones and operate entirely in French, including in their communications with parents. Non-French-speaking parents who want their children to learn French should contact the school boards in their area to identify the immersion school nearest to them.
