This nine-year course sequence is for students who began their study of French in Grade 4 and who continued this program at the junior level and want to continue to pursue in senior high. Students who complete their French language studies with a 60% or higher at the junior high level will enroll in French 10-9Y.

The French as a Second Language (FSL) Program is a 9 year program which begins in Grade 4 and continues through to Grade 12. The French program focuses on developing language competency and strategies for language learning.
Each year, students build upon prior knowledge, increasing their level of understanding of both the spoken and written word and demonstrating knowledge of language conventions that are culturally appropriate. Students also spend time learning about French culture and history and about the role that language learning plays in developing global understanding.
