Students in a French Immersion setting are offered all of their courses in French. Although religious education is done in English throughout the students’ academic career, English Language Arts only begins in grade two. All of their subjects are taught in French.In a Spanish Bilingual setting, students receive approximately 50% of their schooling in Spanish and the other 50% in English. Subjects such as Spanish Language Arts, mathematics, physical education and fine arts are taught in Spanish while social studies, science and English Language Arts are taught in English.
