French immersion is offered by various local school districts and is principally aimed at Anglophone children who wish to learn French as a second language. The curriculum mirrors the provincial English curriculum. Francophone schools operated by the province-wide Francophone school board are reserved for children from francophone families, and the curriculum again mirrors the provincial English curriculum. EFIV teaches a significantly different curriculum, primarily set by the Ministry of Education of France, enriched with local content and English language classes to meet the Group 1 Certification of the BC Ministry of Education.
